Malka Adler

An extraordinary novel of hope and heartbreak, this is a story about a family separated by the Holocaust and their harrowing journey back to each other. My brother's tears left a delicate, clean line on his face. I stroked his cheek, whispered, it's really you... Dov and Yitzhak live in a small village in the mountains of Hungary, isolated both from the world and from the horrors of the war. But one day in 1944, everything changes. The Nazis storm the homes of the Jewish villagers and inform them they have one hour. One hour before the train will take them to Auschwitz. Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms at home in Israel, the brothers finally break their silence to a friend who will never let their stories be forgotten. Told in a poetic style reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, Malka Adler has penned a visceral yet essential read for those who have found strength, solace and above all, hope, in books like The Choice, The Librarian of Auschwitz and The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Praise for The Brothers of Auschwitz 'I sat down and read this within a few hours, my wife is now reading it and it is bringing tears to her eyes' Amazon reviewer 'The story is so incredible and the author writes so beautifully that it is impossible to stay indifferent. I gave the book to my mom and she called me after she finished crying and telling me how much she loved it' Amazon reviewer 'It is a book we all must read, read in order to know ... It is harsh, enthralling, earth-shattering, rattling - but we must. And nothing less' Aliza Ziegler, Editor-in-Chief at Proza Books, Yedioth Ahronoth Publishing House 'Great courage is needed to write as Adler does - without softening, without beautifying, without leaving any room to imagination' Yehudith Rotem, Haaretz newspaper 'This is a book we are not allowed not to read' Leah Roditi, At Magazine

The Brothers of Auschwitz

In the eye of the war That tore the world apart A mother wants a son A daughter needs a mother Winter 1939: Danusha and her family are forced to flee their home when the Nazis invade Poland. Danusha's mother, Anna, changes her name and secures a position as a housekeeper in a German doctor's mansion in Kraków where Gestapo meetings are hosted in the kitchen... Her secret is their salvation, but what Danusha remembers most is the solitude, with only her baby brother and the girl in the mirror for company. All Anna ever wanted was a firstborn son. All Danusha ever wanted was a mother who would love her like a firstborn son. Instead she got one who could look a Nazi straight in the eye but not the eyes of her own daughter. It is only years later, when their neighbours gather in the living room to hear Anna's stories, that Danusha finally realises her mother was never a cold unknowable sea but a storm-wracked sky - sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and always watching over her. The Polish Girl is a heartbreaking and unforgettable historical novel by the author of international bestseller The Brothers of Auschwitz - perfect for fans of Antonio Iturbe and Edith Eger.

"Kíméletlen, lenyűgöző, földrengető." - Aliza Ziegler, főszerkesztő "Nem engedhetjük meg magunknak, hogy ne olvassuk el ezt a könyvet." - Leah Roditi, At Magazine A kilátástalanság és a remény megrendítő, igaz története Dov és Yitzhak egy kis hegyvidéki, magyar faluban él a világ és a háború zajától elszigetelve. De egy napon 1944-ben a borzalom őket is eléri, és minden megváltozik. A nácik ellepik a falusiak otthonát, az ott élő zsidóknak csupán egyetlen órájuk marad az Auschwitzba tartó vonat indulásáig. Hogy ezután mi történt, arra hat évtizeden át nem találtak szavakat a testvérek. Ám egy jó barátjuk kérésére most mégis megtörik a csendet, és izraeli otthonuk biztonságában elmondják fájdalmas, kegyetlenül őszinte történetüket, amelynek nem szabad feledésbe merülnie. Margaret Atwood írói stílusára emlékeztető, zsigerig ható, megkerülhetetlen regény született Malka Adler tollából, amely erőt, vigasztalást és legfőképpen reményt sugároz az olvasó felé.
