Stu Moss: Echoes Of Vienna, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For readers drawn to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a powerful story of family, survival, separation, and remembrance.

Vienna, 1937. A Jewish family. They have no idea what is coming.

Within three years, they will forced into ghettos, transported to camps whose names will become synonymous with unimaginable horror. A fifteen-year-old boy will flee alone into the darkness, carrying little more than a photograph and the weight of survival.

What follows is a journey through the darkest chapter of the twentieth century. The Anschluss that transforms Vienna overnight. The ghettos where families are slowly starved and worked to death. The deportations to Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Mauthausen--places whose names still carry the echo of smoke and ash. The separations that tear parents from children, husbands from wives, brothers from sisters. And finally, the desperate search for reunion in a world that has been burned to its foundations.

Based on real events and grounded in documented history, Echoes of Vienna tells its story without taking creative liberties with the historical realities at its heart.

It is a story of loss and survival, but above all, of remembrance-because memory is all that stands between history and forgetting. From the very first page, Echoes of Vienna: The Long Silence wraps its hands around your heart and doesn't let go.
