        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow

        Child's View of the Holocaust

        by Irit Dror-Reytan

        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow is not a conventional book about  the holocaust. It does not describe the atrocities of WW2, especially towards the Jewish people. Instead, the writer tells a story of her own life from a personal view as a chid, during that period. With the gentle strokes of an artist, the author paints the scenery of her childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, from age three to six, describing events as she perceived them at the time from a child's point of view. Her peaceful and happy country life is crushed by the occupation of Nazi Germany. On a cold and rainy night, our heroine evades the firing squad that annihilates most of her family; her mother joins the partisans, her father is deported to Auschwitz, and she finds herself all alone, hidden in a wicker basket, with a Christian peasant family. After liberation and an incredible reunion with her mother, in an attempt to rehabilitate life, the child becomes the mother and is forced to mature instantly. She takes responsibility for her mother and herself in a daily struggle to survive. Then, an impossible surprise strikes! The purpose of this book is to deliver a message to children who were abused, in any way, not to give in, not to lose hope—the sun will rise tomorrow! Irit Dror-Reytan was born on September 22, 1939, in Boryslav, Poland. After the war she lived in Waldenburg, Poland, until 1950 when her family immigrated to Israel. She was educated in Tabeetha Jaffa, a Church of Scotland school. The Author completed her studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv. She received a B.A. from Queens College in New York and a Master’s degree in psychology from Lesley University in Boston. Irit taught music and English for many years. For the last twenty years, she has been treating IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD. The author has four children, seven grandchildren and lives with her husband in Israel. 128 Pages, 15X22.5 CM

        Blankow oder Das Verlangen nach Heimat

        by Pauline Bok, Waltraud Hüsmert

        Pauline de Bok nimmt sich eine Auszeit vom Großstadtleben und zieht sich zurück aufs Land. Mit ihrem Hund läßt sie sich auf einem Gehöft nördlich von Berlin nieder. In den verfallenen Gebäuden stößt die Journalistin auf Reste des Lebens voriger Bewohner, sie stöbert auf Dachböden, in Kellern und Archiven, befragt Einheimische. Sie folgt den Spuren, die Menschen und Zeiten hinterlassen haben, und setzt die vergessenen Geschichten von Land und Leuten zusammen: »Das Land, das scheinbar stumm und stoisch Wetter und Weltgeschehen über sich ergehen lässt, es beginnt zu sprechen.« Welt am Sonntag
