Opět jedna silná kniha, kdy se díky pamětníkovi můžeme dozvědět, jaké to bylo za druhé světové války pro Židy. Ale také si přečteme o tom, jaké to bylo navrátit se do normálního života a co vlastně po těch hrůzách bylo normální.

Moshe Kessler, one of the young rescued boys, shares his story and the horrors that he saw. He reflects after his release, "We were free but captive to the terrible sights we had witnessed, which would accompany us all our lives." But in amazing ways these boys, girls, men and women rebuilt their lives. a b Niven, Bill (2007). The Buchenwald Child: Truth, fiction, and propaganda. NY: Camden House. p.20. ISBN 978-1-57113-339-7.

January, 1945. Fourteen-year-old Moshe Kessler steps off the train at Buchenwald concentration camp with several hundred other children. Having endured the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau, lost touch with his entire family, and survived the death march in the freezing European winter, Moshe has seen more than his share of tragedy. January, 1945. 14-year-old Moshe Kessle steps off a train in Auschwitz-Birkenau. With his mother, gran, and younger brother. Moshe describes the horrors of his day-to-day life in the different camps of Auschwitz, the death marches and transport via open rail car in winter and his last months in Buchenwald matter of factly. For me this narrative style made his story more horrifying. While reading this I wondered why so many of us choose to read survivor accounts of the Holocaust. I think I do so because the 'how' fascinates me so much - how ordinary people would turn a blind eye to, or even join in with, the ill treatment of another group. How a few psychopaths could persuade thousands of soldiers to commit such atrocities. I've recently read most of a book on this subject, Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning, if you're interested in this aspect. Do all people have this potential evil within, a fire waiting to be lit? I don't believe so, but...The children were not made to work in the camp, as most were too weak and young to do any actual labor. During the days, when it was possible, the children were taught songs in Yiddish and told stories by some elders and older children to keep them occupied and filled with hope for the outside world. [1] Moshe Kessler had an idyllic childhood within his large, extended family. Many, many have asked, over the years, why the Jews allowed their persecution to take place, seemingly without protest. Moshe answers this question in detail; here is an excerpt I marked: On April 11, 1945, at approximately 3:15 pm, Buchenwald was finally liberated by the U.S. Army; 21,000 inmates were liberated that day of which 904 were children. [1] [8] After liberation, most of these boys, after receiving medical attention and aid, having lost their families, were sent to orphanages. [1] After the war [ edit ] Autorka Limor Regev již chystá další knihu, ve které nám přiblíží českého hrdinu, díky němuž bylo zachráněno spousta dětí. Tu si rozhodně také přečtu.
