Jacob's Courage: A Holocaust Love Story

Autor Charles S. Weinblatt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2015
In 1939, seventeen-year-old Austrians Jacob Silverman and Rachael Goldberg are bright, talented, and deeply in love. Because they are Jews, their families lose everything: their jobs, possessions, money, contact with loved ones, and finally their liberty. Jacob and Rachael and their families are removed from their comfortable Austrian homes into a decrepit ghetto where they are forced to live in squalor. From there, the families are sent to the Nazi concentration camp Theresienstadt, where Rachael and Jacob secretly become man and wife. Revel in their excitement as they escape through a harrowing tunnel and join local partisans to fight the Nazis. Ride the fetid train to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where only slavery, sickness, brutality and death await. Stung by the death of loved ones, enslaved and starved, the young lovers have nothing to count on but faith, love, and courage.

Recenzii

This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one’s demons both physically and mentally. . . . Jacob’s Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit.
