Holocaust Memoirs of a Bergen-Belsen Survivor & Classmate of Anne Frank

Sobreviví al holocausto

Como sobreviver a um campo de concentração? Estaria essa sobrevivência condicionada ao acaso do destino? Em um emocionante relato, Nanette Blitz Konig conta a história de um período em que ela e milhões de judeus foram entregues à própria sorte com a mínima chance de sobrevivência. Colega de classe de Anne Frank no colégio, Nanette teve a juventude roubada e perdeu a crença na inocência humana quando esteve diante da morte diversas vezes – situações em que fora colocada em virtude da brutalidade incompreensível dos nazistas. Hoje, aos 86 anos, Nanette vive no Brasil e expõe suas lembranças mais traumáticas aos leitores. As cenas vivenciadas por ela fizeram os mais experientes oficiais de guerra, acostumados a todos os horrores possíveis, chorarem ao tomar conhecimento. Em uma luta diária pela sobrevivência, Nanette deveria suportar o insuportável para manter-se viva. Através de um depoimento ao mesmo tempo sensível e brutal, ela questiona a capacidade de compaixão do ser humano, alertando o mundo sobre a necessidade urgente da tolerância entre os homens.
