La famiglia Sonnino fu costretta ad affrontare, incredula, i primi ostacoli e discriminazioni conseguenti alle leggi razziali: l'abbandono degli studi, la disoccupazione forzosa, l'indigenza economica affrontata con decoro e dignità (fonte: Google Books) A touching story that was left to her family, but should be read by everyone. It is amazing that she lived to tell the story. I have read many Holocaust stories, but this one was written in a way that was easy to relate to. Reading her story was much like having a conversation with a trusted friend. I found it fascinating that she was able to find the pictures of her family. This is a story that needs to be heard and belongings with all the other great Holocaust writings. This is a slim memoir, enhanced by a forward and epilogue written by scholars which explain the historical context. The author, Piera Sonnino, wrote it for the benefit of her daughters and never intended it for publication. One of her children had it translated and published years after her death. It is a fairly typical Holocaust memoir, distinguished mainly by three things: the Italian family that is the subject (not many stories about Italian Holocaust victims out there), the author's dignified, refined genteel tone, and the fact that, unlike in many such books, a lot of information is provided as to what happened to Piera after liberation. I would recommend as a solid addition to Holocaust collections. Interesting and brief family history of one Italian Jewish family's experience in WWII. The commentaries included were also illuminating. I'm not well read in WWII history, but discovered that the Jewish experience in Italy was quite different, generally speaking, than in other European countries. Which makes the tragedy of this family even more poignant. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Five years after her return home from Auschwitz, Piera Sonnino found the courage to tell the story of the extermination of her parents, three brothers, and two sisters by the Nazis. Discovered in Italy and never before published in English, this poignant and extraordinarily well-written account is strikingly accurate in bringing to life the methodical and relentless erosion of the freedoms and human dignity of the Italian Jews, from Mussolini's racial laws of 1938 to the institutionalized horror of Auschwitz. Through Sonnino's words, memory has the power to disarm these unspeakable evils. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
