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.*I received this book through LibraryThing's early reviewer program, but that in no way influenced my opinion* Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. COUNTRY OF ASH by Dr. Edward ReicherDr. Reicher’s memoir tells of his experiences as a Jew in Poland during World War II. He relates the most horrific details in a matter of fact voice. He, his wife and their small daughter all survive the destruction of the Jewish ghetto and the uprising in the city of Warsaw. For anyone seeking information about Hitler’s edicts and their effect on Jews and Aryans in Poland, this account will be riveting in its details. Because this is a translation from the original French and Polish, readers will notice some awkward phraseology and construction. Book groups might want to also read Anne Frank’s diary, another account of a German occupied country or even Leon Uris’ Mila 18 or watch the movie THE PIANIST in conjunction with this book.
“A riveting first-hand account of the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. Edward Reicher presents events from the perspective of a Jew, a physician, a survivor, a chronicler, a husband but mainly a humanitarian caught in the flux of horrific events that, but for memoirs such as this, would fade with the absolution of time. Reicher’s astonishing book insures that will not happen.” “Dr. Reicher’s memoir tells a gripping, tragic, unforgettable tale that, like Wladyslaw Szpilman’s The Pianist, recounts the horrors of being a Jew in Poland during World War II. This important historical document distinguishes itself from other Holocaust narratives in many ways, but perhaps in none more so than this: its perseverant hero not only saved his wife and daughter but helped bring one of the most notorious Nazis of all to justice.”
A starkly compelling, original chronicle of survival in Nazi-occupied Poland, available in English for the first time. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
