Aprašymas

Drawing on the remarkable events of her own life, renowned author and Holocaust survivor Edith Bruck tells the story of Ditke, a young Jewish girl living in Hungary during World War II.

Twelve-year-old Ditke, her parents, and her siblings are
rounded up by the Nazis and sent to different concentration camps, including
Auschwitz and Dachau. Miraculously surviving the war with one of her sisters,
but losing her parents and a brother, Ditke begins a tortuous journey--first
back to Hungary, where she knows she doesn't belong, and then to Israel. There,
she has various jobs before she leaves with a dance troupe, touring Turkey,
Switzerland, and Italy. In Italy she finds a home, at last, and a small measure
of peace; there, too, she falls in love and marries.

Writing
as herself, Edith Bruck closes Lost Bread by addressing a letter to God;
here she expresses her rejection of hatred, her love for life, and her hope
never to lose her memory or ability to continue speaking for those who perished
in the Nazi concentration camps. After the book's publication in Italy, Pope
Francis visited Bruck and thanked her for bearing witness to the atrocities of
the Holocaust.
