The Tree of Life, Book Three: The Cattle Cars Are Waiting, 1942–1944: Library of World Fiction
Autor Chava Rosenfarben Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2006
The third volume in this powerful trilogy, The Cattle Cars Are Waiting follows the tragic fate of the inhabitants of the ghetto. Chava Rosenfarb, herself a survivor of the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen, draws on her own history to create characters who struggle daily to retain a sense of humanity and dignity despite the physical and psychological effects of ghetto life. Although the novel depicts horrendous experiences, the light of faith in the human spirit shines through every page.

Recenzii
"Rosenfarb has the artistic power to bring out, in magnificent language, the moral strength of the Jews, of the human being in general. . . . In this work about the tragic period of the ghetto, everything vibrates with hot, sharp realism. The desire for life passes through the entire work like a red thread."—Jacob Lev, Undzer Shtimme
"A stunning example of how artistic and literary forms can accomplish things not possible through conventional forms of historical memory."—Outlook Magazine, Vancouver
"Defiant, she [Rosenfarb] insists on finding humanity in privation, and keeping alive a creative spark, no matter how many tears are shed on it. . . . Meticulous in her rendering of daily life."—Montreal Gazette
