The Brothers of Auschwitz: A heartbreaking and… door Malka Adler
World War 2
Gemarkeerd
BooksInMirror | 2 andere besprekingen | Feb 19, 2024 | The Polish Girl is actually a Russian girl whose family left Russia for Poland. The father separated from the family so that they would have a better chance of staying alive. He was later captured and was executed in a concentration camp.
I didn’t know it until I finished the book that is loosely based on the life of one of the author’s friends. The mother sent her little boy to live with another family and instructed him to never let anyone see him undress or bathe with the family’s children. Later he was back with his mother and his older sister.
The mother was very intelligent but self-centered and her wits kept her children alive. She had visitors over and told of her woes, I think to elicit pity. She was very pretty and spoke five languages but not very affectionate to her children. The daughter went to a Catholic School. She wanted love from her mother, but when she became an adult she learned to love herself and not need her mother’s approval. I highly recommend this book for learning more about the Jews under the Nazis. It is amazing that they survived and you learn how they avoided being sent to the concentration camp. The knowledge of what happened in the camps came to them in little bits.
Now I want to read her other book about two brothers in Auschwitz.

This book is heartbreaking, but beautifully told. You cannot help, but feel this story so very deeply. It is one of those stories that will resonate with readers because it is fleshed out perfectly. Adler gave a voice to a portion of history that needed to be told. She ended up writing a beautiful and unforgettable story that will stay with me for a long time. A must read!!!

From toddlerhood, Danusha and her mother did whatever they had to for survival in a Poland that was, once again, invaded by Germany and later by Russia. But this time was even worse because they were Jews and Hitler had an agenda of elimination. The story is told in dual perspective as a child in Poland/adult in Israel (obviously after the war). A very emotional read.
NEVER AGAIN
