Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, the narrative follows Vera Schiff and her family as they navigate the harsh realities of life in Theresienstadt, a so-called "model ghetto." While it served as a facade for propaganda and a holding area for notable Jews, the camp was a grim prelude to the gas chambers for many. The story reveals the harrowing experiences of survival amid slave labor, starvation, and disease, highlighting the stark contrast between the camp's deceptive image and the brutal truth of its conditions.
