Eine feinfühlige Geschichte über Hoffnung und Freundschaft in Zeiten des Nationalsozialismus. Alon isst gern Bagels, die es aber leider viel zu selten gibt. Er spielt Geige und sitzt mit seiner Freundin Riwka auf dem Dach ihres Hauses, lässt seinen Drachen steigen und schaut über die Stadt. Aber das Leben ist schwierig, denn es ist das Jahr 1943, und Alon und Riwka wohnen im Getto und tragen einen gelben Stern. Niemand darf das Getto verlassen. Und wer doch durch das Tor hinausgeht, kehrt nicht zurück. Zart und ergreifend erzählt Marius Marcinkeviçius von zwei Kindern, die die Schrecken des Holocausts erleben. Sie werden getrennt, aber finden sich Jahrzehnte später wieder, dank eines Kieselsteins, der zum Symbol für ihre Stärke und das Überleben wird. Als die gelben Blätter fielen – ein besonderes Bilderbuch gegen das Vergessen. Eindringlich und voller Zartheit: „Als die gelben Blätter fielen“ ist eine Geschichte über den Holocaust, über das Erinnern, über Freundschaft, über Hoffnung und über das Überleben. Das Buch handelt vom Leben in einem litauischen Getto zu Zeiten des 2. Weltkriegs. Autor Marius Marcinkeviçius schafft es trotz der Schwere, von diesem wichtigen Teil der Geschichte einfühlsam und liebevoll zu erzählen. Die berührenden und ausdrucksstarken Illustrationen von Inga Dagile machen „Als die gelben Blätter fielen“ zu einem besonderen Bilderbuch für Kinder ab 8 Jahren. Die bewegende Geschichte von Alon und Riwka ist ein guter Einstieg für (Grundschul-)Kinder, um einen Zugang zu den Themen Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust zu bekommen. Das Nachwort hilft bei der historischen Einordnung. „Als die gelben Blätter fielen“ ist in Litauen bereits mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Kein Wunder: Autor Marius Marcinkeviçius und Illustratorin Inga Dagile schaffen es, auf einfühlsame Weise eine tief bewegende Geschichte über Hoffnung und Freundschaft zu Zeiten des Holocausts zu erzählen. Das besondere Bilderbuch ist für Kinder ein guter Einstieg zu dem Thema Nationalsozialismus. Es richtet sich an junge Leser*innen zwischen 8 und 11 Jahren, ist aber eine wichtige Lektüre für alle Menschen – unabhängig vom Alter.
The horrors of state terrorism are countless in our country. The sinister cycle of human rights blackout left unfading marks, but some events paradoxically led to the initial undecidability or negligence of the judges at the beginning of the crimes against humanity trials. This applies to the torture employed in women, about which I commented once that it was not appropriate to say that they suffered more, but that their gender had maximized the employment of torture as the executioners also represented patriarchal authorities. […] This book is part of the unique contributions to understand the meaning of sexual affronts to female prisoners, as well as the path opened by the gendered perspective in the justice administration field […] The author carried out a detailed research on the suffering of a group of female prisoners specially focusing on the Cuyo region, which makes the contribution even more valuable. She committed herself to evidence that the captivity situation increased largely the legitimating authorization to possess those bodies that the torturers believed that belonged to them. As Viviana Beigel assures, this was a systematic plan the key of which lays in the patriarchal dominance that granted, until recently, the safeguard of impunity.
Brick Lane is famous for many things: for being home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, for its curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, for its graffiti, its long-running market and its beigel shops. Now, its also increasingly well known for its thriving art and fashion scene and the incredible street food available there. Dina Begum has been a regular visitor since she was a little girl eating lamb kofta rolls with her dad at the Sweet & Spicy cafe. In her first book, she celebrates Brick Lane's diverse food cultures: from the homestyle Bangladeshi curries she grew up eating to her own luscious and indulgent cakes, from Chinese-style burgers to classic Buffalo wings, from smoothie bowls to raw coffee brownies. With contributions from street food traders and restaurants including Gram Bangla, Beigel Bake, Blanchette, Chez Elles, St Sugar of London, Cafe 1001 and Moo Cantina, the Brick Lane Cookbook is a culinary map of the East End's tastiest street and a snapshot of London at its authentic, multi-cultural best.
