[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]

Offers translated samplesof the verses composed by teenage Polish Holocaust victims, the sisters Henryka and Alona Karmel. The relevant volume was discovered by Polish theatrical and film director Wojtek Sawa in a Cracow bookstore. We are told the sisters survived the war but their subsequent history is unknown. The poems are less valuable as literature than as reminders that sentiment, romance and sensitivity could co-exist with the horror of the Holocaust.
