Raquela de Ruth Gruber

Raquela

Autor Ruth Gruber
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2010
A National Jewish Book Awardߝwinning biography: A fascinating look at the early years of Israel’s statehood experienced through the life of a pioneering nurse
During her extraordinary career, nurse Raquela Prywes was a witness to history. She delivered babies in a Holocaust refugee camp and on the Israeli frontier. She crossed minefields to aid injured soldiers in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and organized hospitals to save the lives of those fighting the 1967 Six-Day War. Along the way, her own life was a series of triumphs and tragedies mirroring those of the newly formed Jewish state.
Raquela is a moving tribute to a remarkable woman, and an unforgettable chronicle of the birth of Israel through the eyes of those who lived it.
