Hitler has risen to power in Nazi Germany and has begun to implement his "Final Solution" with construction of the notorious concentration camps in which millions of innocent men, women, and children, particularly Jews, will perish at the hands of Hitler's infamous Schutzstaffel or SS. Among the most monstrous members of the squadron is the "Angel of Death," Dr. Josef Mengele, whose heinous "medical" experiments are being performed on his unsuspecting human guinea pigs at Auschwitz. Perhaps most heinous among such experiments were those perpetrated on children - especially twins - with whom Mengele had a bizarre fascination.Here is where we find Ari and Noam Fischer, identical twin boys who are languishing in the camp until they are suddenly taken to Mengele where they will be held with several other sets of twins in a special building. Here they are well-fed and cared for. Little do the children suspect that they are all merely being "fattened up" in preparation for Mengele's maniacal and macabre medical experiments that will result in ignominious death for some and excruciating pain and torture for all.For Ari, his miraculous survival will perhaps prove to be, through a bizarre set of circumstances and events, not such a blessing or miracle after all when Mengele's demonic "science" will have consequences for his progeny that no one could ever possibly have fortold.

A bewildered Confucius has found himself transplanted into the Modern Era. A student of the wisdom of the Sages over the Centuries, Confucius was well aware that their philosophical perceptions were pertinent to the times they lived in.As the world of the Modern Era revealed itself to him, he realized existence in this era was never to match that of his time, or that of the Sages that came before him. Still respectful of their observations, he felt the world had morphed into the Modern Era, so was it necessary for their introspections to transform to this time in history. Indeed, he would take on that task and add his wisdom to theirs and create "Wisdom for our time." Travel down the philosophical path with Confucius as he does so.Moreover, as he was saturated with the style of living and worldly conditions, he could not resist commenting on them. Whether it's "The quickest way to a man's heart, is with his donor card", "Mistakes drive creativity", "Everyman will be known for his actions, not the rumor of his intent", "Genetics determine how tall you will be. Life experience will determine how wise" or "The Husband and Wife Truism…one is always right, and then there is the husband."Join in the exposure of the ruminations of this respected sophist… decidedly, "Wisdom for our time."
