In the clinic where I worked as a result there was a huge palm tree. Sometimes I stayed down there and before I saw the rooms where inmates were my patients. Those were different times, there were no drugs today, and most of the patients in those rooms was sentenced to die. My job was to save as much as possible and one day, under the palm tree, I realized that was basically the same job that there Umschlagplatz. Even then I was at the gate and pulled out from a crowd of people of offenders.
Mark Edelman, the only commander of the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto survived the war, as there was at the gate nell'Umschlagplatz, the collection center to the edge of the ghetto, where he saw 400,000 Jews take off, one by one and go on wagons that will take them to die in Treblinka. There, as in his profession after a cardiologist, has done nothing other than trying to arrive before the Lord God and save lives as much as he could.
This book tells Hanna Krall of Jewish life in the ghetto, the revolt of his profession as a doctor. But it's not a hero and almost foot down and kick in the face of questions the writer. He argues that, in the operating room as the gate in 'Umschlagplatz, save one in four hundred thousand is simply ridiculous.
But all life is for each one hundred percent the whole, then perhaps there is still a sense . So concludes
Hanna Krall, and us with it.

Where did Manet to Matisse, to Picasso's art dealer jew Daniel Berenzon? He took refuge in the countryside during the German occupation of Paris in 1944 but returns to the city's priceless masterpieces have disappeared from his gallery. His son Max will try them, aided by Rose Clement, until they become a reason for living.
Sara Houghteling tells a compelling story and passionate focus "on art rubata”, ovvero sulla razzia che i nazisti, su ordine diretto di Hitler e Göring, fecero di quadri e oggetti d’arte durante l’occupazione di Parigi. Tutti i dati riportati nel romanzo sono veri; solo il protagonista del romanzo, Daniel Berenzon, è un personaggio di fantasia
Il libro è ispirato alla figura di Rose Valland (1898 -1980), a cui i tedeschi permisero, nella sua qualità di ex sovrintendente, di rimanere come supervisore alla manutenzione, al Jeu de Paume. Qui venivano stipate le opere prima di partire per la Germania. I meticolosi resoconti che Rose compilò di nascosto consentirono il successivo rimpatrio di migliaia di dipinti. Grazie ai suoi contatti con le Forze francesi libere e gli alleati, Thousands of wagons loaded with works of art were not bombed. Rose Valland was awarded the Legion of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In 1961, Rose wrote his autobiography, The front de l'art: 1939-1945 défense des collections françaises, out of print for years. In 1964 his book was made into the film The train .
