- Biografía breve
- Edward Reicher (1900–1975) was born in Łódź, Poland. He graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Warsaw, later studied dermatology in Paris and Vienna, and practiced in Łódź as a dermatologist and venereal disease specialist both before and after World War II. A Jewish survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Reicher appeared at a tribunal in Salzburg to identify Hermann Höfle and give an eyewitness account of Höfle’s role in Operation Reinhard, which sent hundreds of thousands to their deaths in the Polish concentration camps. His memoir, Country of Ash, was first published posthumously in France thanks to the efforts of his daughter Elisabeth Bizouard-Reicher.

Country of Ash: A Jewish Doctor in Poland, 1939-1945 por Edward Reicher
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.An interesting memoir by a Jewish doctor who was in both the Lodz and the Warsaw Ghettos. Dr. Reicher actually got fairly close to the Lodz Ghetto's controversial chairman, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, and his impressions of the man are invaluable to history. Beyond that, however, this memoir doesn't really stand out that much among all the other Holocaust books out there.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This book is the story of a Jewish, Polish, doctor and what he and his family did to survive the holocaust. It is mostly narrative with just enough of the background history to make sense, but not so much you loose the story line. My one complaint was the ending, it was rather abrupt, but that wouldn't be enough to stop me from recommending this book to anyone interested in the holocaust.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.An important contribution to the voices of the Lodz and Warsaw ghettoes. This testimony is representative of all who lost their lives needlessly. Many thanks to those who persevered to publish Country of Ash... This is an important historical narrative.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.One of the best accounts of the Holocaust that I've ever read. It was well written, and made me feel like I was there with him. This was an amazing story of survival, and I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to read it. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Holocaust. I have read many other books about living through/surviving the Holocaust, and this is one of the best that I've ever read.
