Book Overview

1941, Hitler's army crosses into Soviet-ruled Ukraine in a secret mission titled "Operation Barbarossa. A young Jewish girl, Hanna Slivka is fourteen when German soldiers arrive in her small village of Kwasova. Until their arrival, Hanna has split her time between playing with her younger siblings, sharing drawings with the sweet shy Leon Stadnick, and assisting her neighbor, Mrs. Petrovich, with her annual dyeing and selling of psyanky, decorative eggs. But now, she, Leon and their families are forced into hiding, first in the woods outside of their town and then into caverns beneath it. They battle sickness and starvation, and the local peasants who join the Nazis in hunting Jews through the ravaged countryside, but at no time are they more tested than when Hanna's father - briefly above ground to scavenge for food - goes missing, and suddenly, it's on Hanna to find him, and to find a way to keep her mother, brother and sister alive. This novel is inspired by the true story of Esther Stermer and her family, who survived underground for 511 days. Less than 5% of the Jewish population in Ukraine survived these Holocaust "Actions."

Guinea Pigs are to Men as Men are to What?

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 20, 2007

Unlike the idealized or generalized depictions of a more classical allegory, each of the people portrayed here is thoroughly individuated. The cast has only...

Very Funny For The Price

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 5, 2002

Ludvik Vaculik is perhaps one of the funniest Czech writers to come out of Prague Spring. Writing under the censor, Vaculik manages to merge a thoroughly disturbing tale of animal cruelty with a physical rendition of the chaotic Czech currency system of the time. But one doesn't have to know anything of the history of Czechoslovakia or communist censorship to enjoy this story. It's very funny and unsettling all the same. Highly...
