This one is particularly interesting when it comes to the latter third (that is when she really starts talking about the children) . I would say that it should have a PG13 rating though. ( ) This is quite an interesting memoir that shows what conditions were like in Poland immediately following the Holocaust and the end of the war. The author founded a children's home, and later set up two sanitariums, all for Jewish orphans. Most of them were sick, all of them were starving and all of them were traumatized. She cared for them with a Korczak-like love and devotion. I was very disturbed -- nay, horrified -- by the actions of many of the Poles in the countryside surrounding the orphanage. There were a lot of fascists among the citizenry who couldn't quite grasp the concept that the war was over, and did things like throw grenades through the orphanage windows at night. So heroic, so patriotic, to murder sick children in their beds! When Lena Kuchler asked for help from the Communist government, they provided her with a machine gun, a few rifles and little else. People with interest in the Holocaust, children's institutions, postwar Communist Poland and post-traumatic stress in children would find this worth a read. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
