Between 1933 and the end of World War II, over 3,000 Jews from countries all across Europe fled what was an almost certain death there to find freedom and safety in a small country in South America. Most of them had never heard of it before there was nowhere else to run: Ecuador. Some left for the U.S. or Israel after five or ten years. Others decided to make it their permanent home. Today, there are less than 1,000 Jews still living in Ecuador. Why did they decide to stay? Each family's story is different. Every single person has their own, unique memories of their early days in Ecuador. The Boy with Four Names is the story of one family, and one boy who ended up with four names. You will enjoy this book whether you're thirteen or sixty-three

Advance Praise for The Good Corporate Citizen "Qualitative goals for an environment that sustains capital investment, rewards entrepreneurs, and promotes an educated and loyal workforce need to be set. Business can then determine how to improve the conditions upon which it relies for long-term profitability. Doris Rubenstein has given us a vision of those qualitative goals along with very practical suggestions for enlightened business self-interest." –From the Introduction by Stephen B. Young Global Executive Director, The Caux Round Table "Doris Rubenstein’s book makes sound financial sense and should be a must-read for executives of all businesses, small and large alike. She exhibits an intimate understanding of the fiscal demands and corporate concerns of business owners when first establishing relationships with charities. Rubenstein presents a sensible, ethical, and effective approach to corporate philanthropy that is much needed in today’s world. If (small) businesses are the lifeblood of a community, her book is an important guide to how they can forge a partnership to achieve civic and cultural improvement and success." –Russell Rothman, Executive Vice President M. Rothman & Co, Inc. "Organizations have a tendency to underestimate the value of incorporating a systematic, focused approach to practicing good corporate citizenship within their management system. This text offers a compelling philosophy, along with a practical approach to manage this important part of your management system." –Gary D.
