A character study built around an appalling historicalperiod and a testimony to the strength of the wounded spirit’s ability toendure and live a meaningful, if not entirely happy, life.
In the summer of 1936, Karel Bondyand his wife?Czechoslovakian Jews raising three young children in Prague?arehappy and free. But their idyllic life is forever changed in 1943, when theNazis sweep in and “relocate” the family to a holding camp in Terezin, and fromthere, the dreaded train takes them to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Men are separatedfrom women and children, and this is the last time Karel sees his family. Weexperience the horrors of Auschwitz through Karel’s eyes and come to understandthat some experiences are worse than death. Karel and a few others attemptescape and miraculously find themselves outside the camp. Survival instinctrules, and not everyone makes it, but Karel manages to live. Later, he resumeshis life as Carl Barry in the United States, only to find the countrysurprisingly “forgetful” just seven years after the death of Hitler: “Sevenyears is not even time enough to go gray or get fat. Certainly not to forget.”Duberstein alternates between Karel’s life in Europe and Carl’s in America,taking readers to the year 2000, when for a dying Carl, past and present beginto merge in a sensitive ending.?Through it all, Duberstein treats readersto Karel’s introspective, intelligent and ironic view on all that comes topass. He’s a memorable, complex character.
One man, two lives. Duberstein (The Twoweeks, 2012, etc.) creates apowerful story of humanity and inhumanity in this tale of war, survival andhealing.
