Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Flory is a powerful memoir of persecution, survival, and a young couple’s devotion.” (Richard Paul Evans, New York Times bestselling author)

“This moving story of courage and survival is a must read for everyone, so that future generations of the world should never forget the Holocaust.” (Rabbi Marc S. Rubenstein, Spiritual leader of Temple Isaiah of Newport Beach)

“A vivid story of the Holocaust and its few survivors.” (Booklist)

“This has intrinsic value as a Holocaust survivor testimony.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Flory’s story is filled with history, heartache and hope...an important contribution to the understanding of the horrors of the Holocaust and the spirit of survival.” (Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League)

“An amazing account -- it makes you want to head straight for Holland and shake everybody’s hand. . . . Horror is real; the Nazis insisted on it, sponsored it even. But decency is real, too, and sometimes it prevails. This book bears witness to that.” (Washington Post)

“A simply-told testimony of much power.” (Jewish Week)

“While the immediate association is Anne Frank’s attic, Van Beek’s straightforward account brings a fabled and singular Jewish culture to the forefront...her most striking touch is her account of the Dutch restoring their original street names after the defeat of Hitler.” (Forward)
