Very compelling, as I knew it would be, but what really struck me was the naked hope in the beginning turning to wanton apathy. The author states she is not "a writer", and only told the story to make sure it was not forgotten, but you would never know it. It took me a couple minutes to get into the first chapter - but after that I didn't put it down all day. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Road to Auschwitz is the autobiography of Hedi Fried, a fifteen-year-old living in Sighet, Romania, when war breaks out in 1939. In March 1944, Hedi's family, along with three thousand other Jews from her village, are confined to a ghetto, awaiting shipment to Auschwitz. In Auschwitz, amidst the horror, Hedi turns twenty, her sister, Livi, fifteen. As Hedi and Livi will later learn, their parents do not survive. In April 1945, the sisters are transported to Bergen-Belsen, two months before liberation. Upon liberation, Hedi renews her acquaintance with Michael, another survivor from Sighet. They move to Sweden, marry, and eventually have three sons. It is the loss of Michael, when Hedi is only forty, that prompts this memoir. "It took me forty years to realize that I am a witness and that it is my task to tell what I experienced." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
