Europa,
Europa by Solomon Perel Solomon Perel's may be one of the strangest wartime memoirs ever committed
to print. At the outbreak of World War II Perel, a young Polish Jew, was
interned in a Soviet orphanage. Captured by Wehrmacht soldiers, Perel,
fluent in Russian and German, passed himself off as an ethnic German and
was adopted by the Nazi unit to act as a translator--and as something of
a mascot. Sent to Berlin to an all-male military school, Perel managed
against all odds to keep his secret (after the war, he revealed his true
identity to his disbelieving comrades-in-arms); in the meantime, his family
perished. Now available for the first time in English translation, the
full book revels in a sharp sense of irony and an ever-unfolding abundance
of improbable episodes.
The
Girl in the Red Coat: A Memoir by Roma Ligocka, Iris Von Fickenstein, Margot Bettauer Dembo
Book Description: When she first saw Schindler's List--to whose
premiere in Germany she was invited--Roma Ligocka suddenly realized she
was witnessing a part of her own life. She felt instinctively that the
little girl in the red coat--the only spot of color in the film--was her.
When she had lived in the Krakow ghetto during the Second World War she
had worn a strawberry-red coat given to her by her grandmother. Unlike
the girl in Spielbeg's film, however, Roma survived the war. Startled by
this eerie conjunction of art and reality, Ligocka determind to write the
story of her own life, to find out what had become of the little girl,
and to measure who she now was.
From a harrowing childhood under the Nazis, described with a simplicity
and innocence that lends it even greater power, through the trials of living
in Communist Poland, to a career in the theater and film (an artistic struggle
paralleling that of her cousin, Roman Polanski), Ligocka traces her struggle
for self-defiition and happiness. The Girl in the Red Coat is a courageous
and moving story of survival and triumph.
