Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

""An engrossing and moving yet cooly dispassionate memoir. Going against the grain of Holocaust orthodoxy, Liebman depicts life uner occupation in all its hues - including the craven complicity of the Jewish coucil - as well as the many, if still to few, acts of solidarity by Belgian workers, Communists and enlightened Catholics"" Norman Finkelstein

Reseña del editor:

Translated by Liz HerronIntroduced by Jacqueline Rose This fierce memoir is both elegiac and indicting. Marcel Liebman's account of his childhood in Brussels under the Nazi occupation explores the emergence of his class-consciousness against a background of resistance and collaboration. He documents the internal class war that has long been hidden from history--how the Nazi persecution exploited class distinctions within the Jewish community, and how certain Jewish notables collaborated in a systematic program of denunciation and deportation against immigrant Jews who lacked the privileges of wealth and citizenship. An eminent anti-Zionist and Marxist, Liebman tells the story of his family's struggle to survive in the face of persecution, terror and constant evasion, an existence observed with acuity, humor and lyricism.
