The Iron Furnace: A Holocaust Survivor's Story

List Price: ~~$35.00~~
Price: $67.10

The book is unique among survivor's stories that I have read for its clear, straightforward writing style. The story, while frightening, is told in a mannner that does not terrorize the reader; this book should therefore appeal to a wide audience. The author's survival of these events is as surprising to us as it was to him, and marks with compassion the many of his fellow men and women that did not survive those awful events. His subsequent enlistment in the US Army is a heartening testament to human stamina and determination. Bravo!

Reading "The Iron Furnace: A Holocaust Survivor's Story," you experience practically the entire repertoire of human emotions. In January 1939, the author was a 15-year-old Jewish boy living in Warsaw. When the Nazis invaded Poland, they turned his and his family's lives upside down. His schooling ended, he and his family were interned in the Warsaw ghetto (except for George's stays in two German work camps), and then they were all shipped to various concentration camps. George was the only one in his immediate family to survive. After his liberation by the U.S. Army, he volunteered to serve (without pay) in that army and did so with distinction. He then went on to lead a rich, productive life.The reader feels horror, revulsion and fury at the hideous acts of the oppressors, described in chilling detail; admiration for the courage, intelligence and quick wits displayed by the author; deep sorrow at the sad plights of so many; wry enjoyment of the black humor that appeared...

This book is both brilliant and hideous. It is brilliant in its clarity and writing style; it is hideous in the unfortunately all-too-true events that it depicts. This book tells the story of the author's life from the outset of the Nazi domination of Poland until the eventual liberation 6 long years later. It is a story told in a deceptively simple style, eminently readable, revealing beneath the horrible picture of what evil truly is. It is a book that everyone, whether a student of history, humankind or good and evil, should read. The author comes across as a remarkable man. And this is a remarkable book.

Fiery arts on display at festival

Jun 05, 2011 |

Artwork forged through fire was on prominent display at the second Arts on Fire Festival at the historic Scranton Iron Furnaces on Saturday.

Blown glass, kiln-fired pottery, cast iron and forged steel were featured along with less fiery arts - photographs, jewelry and silk-screened prints - at the fair in the furnaces' shadow.

Brothers Josh and Sam Perry of Nicholson provided a demonstration of traditional blacksmith forging. They flamed burning bituminous coal then plunged a crude sword into the smoldering pile before banging the metal into shape on an anvil.

The family project is done "purely for fun," Josh said and showed off a series of hooks that were cooling in a bucket.

"The hooks my mom asked for," he said, "because she wants to hang some baskets."

Area high school students spent the day pouring molten iron into molds they shaped with guidance from Keystone Iron Works in a program sponsored through ARTS Engage.

How many kilograms of limestone should be added for every kilogram of iron ore processed in a blast furnace ?

Sep 18, 2008 by Marilyn C

How many kilograms of limestone should be added for every kilogram of iron ore processed in a blast furnace if the limestone is 91.40% pure and the iron ore contains 14.40% SiO2 by mass? (Note: SiO2(s) + CaCO3(s) --> CaSiO3(s) + CO2(g))

Let UNITs guide you; always USE THEM in your calculation to prevent errors

SiO2(s) + CaCO3(s) --> CaSiO3(s) + CO2(g)

kmoles CaCO3 / kg limestone = 0.9140 kg of CaCO3/MW CaCO3 in kg/kmoles = ??

kmole of SiO2 / kg ore = 0.1440 kg of SiO2 / MW of SiO2 in kg/kmole = ??

kg limestone / kg ore = kmoles SiO2/kg of ore / kmoles CaCO3/kg of limestone = ??
