En mitad de la guerra que desgarró al mundo, una madre quiere un hijo y una hija necesita a una madre.  Invierno de 1939. Danusha y su familia se ven obligados a huir de su hogar cuando los nazis invaden Polonia. La madre de Danusha, Anna, se cambia el nombre y consigue un puesto como ama de llaves en la mansión de un médico alemán en Cracovia, en cuya cocina se reúnen altos cargos de la Gestapo. Su secreto es su salvación, pero lo que más recuerda Danusha es la soledad, con la única compañía de su hermanito y la niña del espejo. Todo lo que Anna siempre quiso fue un primogénito. Lo único que Danusha quería era una madre que la quisiera como a un primogénito. En lugar de eso, tuvo a una que podía mirar a un nazi directamente a los ojos, pero no a los ojos de su propia hija. Solo años más tarde, cuando sus vecinos se reúnen en el salón para escuchar las historias de Anna, Danusha se da cuenta por fin de que su madre nunca fue un frío mar desconocido, sino un cielo azotado por la tormenta, a veces brillante, a veces oscuro, y siempre velando por ella.  La chica polaca es una desgarradora e inolvidable novela histórica de la autora best seller internacional Malka Adler, perfecta para los seguidores de Antonio Iturbe y Edith Eger.

The Brothers of Auschwitz

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. Malka Adler’s extraordinary biographical novel of a family separated by the Holocaust and their harrowing journey back to each other is based on interviews with the brothers she grew up with by the Sea of Galilee. When they decided to tell their story, she was the only one they would talk to. Told in a poetic style reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, this is 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
