Warsaw Testament
Introducere de Samuel Kassow Autor Rokhl Auerbachen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 iul 2024
Winner of the 2024 National Jewish Book Award: Holocaust Memoir (in Memory of Dr. Charles and Ethel Weitzman)
Rokhl Auerbach was a journalist, literary critic, and one of only three surviving members of the Oyneg Shabes, historian Emanuel Ringelblum’s top-secret archive of the Warsaw Ghetto. Upon immigrating to Israel in 1950 she founded the witness testimony division at Yad Vashem and played a foundational role in the development of Holocaust memory. Warsaw Testament, a memoir based on her wartime writings both in the ghetto and on the Aryan side of the occupied city, provides an unmatched portrait of the last days of Warsaw’s Yiddish literary and cultural community—and of Auerbach’s own struggle to survive.

Recenzii
2024 National Jewish Book Award Winner
"Throughout these 'testaments'—many of them vignettes devoted to a person or a place—Auerbach foregrounds the fates of others...The anecdotes Auerbach chooses to recount are quietly illuminating."—New York Review of Books
"'Warsaw Testament,' translated from the Yiddish by Samuel Kassow, presents wartime observations with reflections recorded at a remove of three decades. The result is documentary lucidity with literary flair; a historian’s fidelity with a survivor’s vigilance." — The Wall Street Journal

"Fictionalized accounts of the Holocaust…distort its reality. It is imperative that accurate, unadorned descriptions such as those collected in Warsaw Testament are made as widely available as possible." — The Times Literary Supplement Review
"A poignant testament to the endurance and character of the Jewish community during one of history’s darkest times." — Kirkus Reviews
"Divided into chapters that depict personalities and aspects of the ghetto, 'Warsaw Testament' illustrates the community’s remarkable cultural output against the backdrop of widespread starvation and mass violence." — The Times of Israel
"Auerbach, with a short story writer’s focus, counteracts that total extermination [of a person’s life]. She takes on the holy task of honoring the memory of each person." — Detroit Jewish News
