Its conclusion is so emotionally complicated. While I understand it, I’m conflicted in accepting it. Having a story of the aftermath of WWII, something that doesn’t seem to be focused on too often, was a sobering reminder. Tragedy didn’t end in 1945. But Zofia’s journey was… odd. ( ) What happens when you’re liberated from a concentration camp and you know that the only person that could have survived is your little brother? You know roughly which camp he went to but where is he now? This book by Monica Hesse explores what Zofia Lederman does to find her missing brother, including going across Germany by herself to reunite with her brother. Desperation, hope, and never giving up are all central themes in this book. This book made my ache and want Zofia to find her brother. In the end, Zofia does what she needs to. I’d highly recommend this book! i sort of feel like i've read my share of world war two historical novels and have generally avoided them for a while, but somehow ended up reading this one. it's - as far as i can remember - the first one that starts the action after the camps were liberated. there are some flashbacks to the roundups and the transports and the conditions in the concentration camps, but this is largely about dealing with what comes after, which is where most books end and never even allude to. i really appreciated this, and that there are obviously many mental health issues that come up for survivors. (i'm not sure how well that was handled, though. or, maybe what i mean is that it was there, but i wanted even more of that, for some people, or i wanted zophia to have more understanding for what everyone was going through, because she was, too.) still. this was very well written, a compelling story, and a new perspective on a time that is written about often. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Todos tenemos un abecedario que llenar Alemania, 1945. Aunque el campo de concentración de Gross-Rosen fue liberado, para Zofia Lederman las heridas que le dejó la guerra (tanto en su cuerpo como en su mente) no han sanado. Tres años antes, ella y su hermano menor, Abek, fueron los únicos integrantes de su familia a los que enviaron a la derecha; es decir, lejos de las cámaras de gas de Auschwitz-Birkenau. Todos los demás, sus padres, su abuela, su radiante tía se fueron a la izquierda. Antes de que los nazis los separaran, los hermanos alcanzaron a hacerse una promesa: -De Abek a Zofia. -De la A a la Z. - Cuando vuelva a verte encontraremos nuestro abecedario. Estaremos completos, y todo estará bien. Te prometo que te encontraré. Pero hallar a un niño en un mar de desaparecidos no es tarea fácil, y las pesquisas llevarán a Zofia a un campamento de sobrevivientes donde todos intentan dejar atrás un pasado doloroso y labrarse un nuevo futuro. Entre los escombros de un continente roto, Zofia debe profundizar en un misterio cuyas respuestas podrían romperla o ayudarla a reconstruir su mundo. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
