We Are Children Just the Same: Vedem, the Secret Magazine by the Boys of Terezín
Editat de Paul R. Wilson Cuvânt înainte de Vaclav Havel Marie Rut Krizkova, Kurt Jiri Kotouc, Zdenek Ornesten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2012
From 1942 to 1944, a group of thirteen- to fifteen-year-old Jewish boys secretly produced a weekly magazine called Vedem (In the Lead) at the model concentration camp, Theresienstadt (“Terezín” in Czech). The writers, artists, and editors put together the issues and copied them by hand behind the blackout shades of their cellblock, which they affectionately called the “Republic of Shkid.” Although the material was saved by one of the handful of boys who survived the Holocaust, it was suppressed for fifty years in Czechoslovakia until 1995, when these works were published simultaneously in English, Czech, and German.
Vedem provides a poignant glimpse into the world of boys torn from their comfortable childhoods and separated from their families, ultimately to perish in the Nazi death machine. This edition includes a new preface and epilogue.
