Tell Me Another Morning: An Autobiographical Novel
This autobiographical novel depicts a teenage girl’s experience in the Nazi concentration camps. As in The Diary of Anne Frank, Tania’s youthful concerns are interwoven among accounts of extremity: her brother’s murder, her mother’s choice to stay with her father and die in the gas chamber rather than be transported to another camp, the saving friendships Tania develops, her relationships with young men and the guards. Throughout the novel we see claustrophobic uncertainty, grief, terror, exhaustion, and Tania’s sustaining hope. Her return to Prague after the war is unforgettable and devastating, as she observes people wearing “normal” clothes, eating ice cream, and traveling on buses between work and home. There is no judgment, only the reality of two worlds existing simultaneously. With spare prose, Zdena Berger’s first-hand observations convey the deprivation and brutality in which Tania comes of age, and the friendships and hope that help her to survive.

PER VOCE SOLA
Campo di concentramento di Terezin.
Zdena Berger è nata nel 1925 a Praga. Ha quattordici anni quando fa conoscenza diretta coi nazisti che occupano la sua città.
La trafila è nota: man mano sempre più isolata, costretta a rinchiudersi nello stretto giro familiare, la stella gialla cucita sul cappotto, le progressive infinite restrizioni e limitazioni, le angherie e le vessazioni, fino al giorno in cui è costretta a salire su un treno merci destinazione Terezin. Campo di concentramento nella ex Cecoslovacchia.
Campo di concentramento di Auschwitz.
Poi Auschwitz. Poi Bergen-Belsen. Tutti luoghi dove si fabbricavano cadaveri. Un viaggio nel cuore della tenebra.
Quattro eterni anni. Ma riesce a sopravvivere fino alla liberazione. Può tornare a vivere una vita “normale”.
Può tornare a vivere. E nel 1961 a vedere pubblicare questo suo romanzo, molto autobiografico, uscito in America dove credo che viva tuttora insieme al marito in mezzo alle sequoie della California settentrionale.
Il Dott. Fritz Klein in una fossa comune di Bergen-Belsen.
Ho scelto la forma narrativa e non quella di un semplice diario per poter raccontare la verità in tutte le sue sfaccettature e dare spazio alle emozioni.
Così Zdena diventa Tania: per prendere la “giusta distanza” e poter raccontare quello che è stato. Per raccontare, e ricordare, e non dimenticare. Ma anche per diventare scrittore. Per fare letteratura.
Le amiche Ilse ed Eva presenti in queste pagine sono ancora vive, e Zdena si tiene in contatto con loro. Leggendo queste pagine viene da chiedersi se più che la speranza che l’orrore finisse, non sia stato proprio questo legame d’amicizia a tenere in vita le tre ragazze, a farle sopravvivere. E poi, finalmente, vivere.

The first thing I ever wrote and published was a review of this book that I found browsing in my local public library when I was about 13. I would hang out there, explore, and for a little while feel like who I really was. There was a newsletter booklet on the librarian's desk and it said they'd publish reviews, so I wrote one. Although I read Tell Me Another Morning 53 years ago, I still remember it. It was a story about surviving by listening to stories.
I'm posting this review now to make a statement: Libraries are important and I am appalled that the government of the country that people run to, the "land of the free," would defund them. Libraries are part of our national infrastructure. They allow people who have nothing to have access to everything. They allow those who are interested to learn the horrors of not resisting when humans act inhumanly (Yes, Sean Spicer, Hitler really did use chemical weapons on his people).
I am 66 years old, and I still remember the lessons of this book: You can survive through stories. You just need access to the right ones.

“Raccontami un altro mattino” chiede il fratellino a Tania. Un altro mattino ricordato, immaginato, desiderato, un mattino in cui ci sono i genitori, il calore di casa, il verde della campagna, le marachelle quotidiane, la cioccolata calda, i giochi, le risa. Perché lì, a Terezin, di tutto questo resta solo un ricordo e si può solo fantasticare, sperando di vivere ancora, un giorno in più.
Tania ha 14 anni e l’invasione dei nazisti l’ha strappata alla sua vita nella Parga della fine degli anni ’30, dopo che una serie di soprusi avevano già invaso la sua quotidianità e quella della sa famiglia. A Terezin seguirà l’orrore di Auschwitz e poi quello di Bergen Belsen, per poi fare miracolosamente ritorno a casa, salva sull’orlo del precipizio. Non è uno dei quei libri da pugno nello stomaco, questo di Zdena Berger, non ci sono passaggi con descrizioni brutali o violente e i ricordi appaiono talvolta un po’ nebulosi, forse non precisi, mischiati alla forma romanzata. Ma proprio in questo sta la sua particolarità. La sua lievità scava nell’animo del lettore procurando un senso di smarrimento, di malinconia e alla fine, quando Tania ritorna a Parga, nonostante la salvezza, di profonda tristezza. Ecco, l’ho trovato ancora più triste di tanti altri libri sullo stesso tema, ammetto di averne letti parecchi. Anche questo legame profondo con le altre due figure femminili, Ilse ed Eva, che condividono con Tania la sventura del lager, mi ha procurato alla fine, una grande tristezza…si salvano, si tengono in contatto a distanza di anni ma alla fine manca qualcosa….manca un abbraccio, manca un vero legame di affetto, resta la figura sola di Tania lì, in mezzo alla strada, in attesa di recarsi dalla zia che la ospiterà e sappiamo che la sua vita poi, è andata avanti, divisa tra Praga, Parigi e San Francisco…ma questa immagine finale di una ragazza ritornata nella sua città natale, trasformata dopo l'orrore vissuto, mi ha lasciato il magone, mi ha presi il cuore.
Mi pare di capire che questo libro sia rimasto inedito da anni, e ancora oggi sia poco conosciuto....mi chiedo come sia possibile: è un libro che merita attenzione, merita di essere scoperto.

Mia madre mi fece inviare per posta questo libro quando avevo solo 12 anni. Al tempo non esisteva amazon né popolari siti online dove comprare libri, ma vi erano riviste e abbonamenti letterari. Ogni mese ricevevamo nella cassetta delle lettere un catalogo, dove potevamo leggere la trama e brevi recensioni di romanzi vecchi e nuovi, per ispirare il nostro prossimo acquisto.
Fu proprio in una di quelle occasioni che scorsi Raccontami Un Altro Mattino, un libro di cui mai avevo sentito parlare ma che trattava di un tema che al tempo mi era estremamente caro.
Da poco avevo finito di leggere il Diario di Anne Frank e, rimasta profondamente colpita dalla sua storia, ero alla continua ricerca di racconti simili che potessero farmi conoscere più aspetti e punti di vista di uno dei momenti più oscuri della storia dell'uomo. D'altronde, Anne mi aveva raccontato di cosa significasse essere rinchiusi per due anni in pochi metri quadri, di essere vittima della discriminazione, di cosa volesse dire perdere il diritto alla libertà, alla crescita e alla vita. Ma oltre a questo, purtroppo, non ci è stata concessa la possibilità di leggere più nulla sulla sua terribile esperienza, a causa degli eventi storici relativi alla sua biografia.
Zdena, al contrario, racconta ciò che lei, Anne e milioni di altre persone hanno dovuto subire a causa della folle crudeltà degli uomini. Anche se inconsciamente, percepii la storia di questa ragazza come un continuo del Diario che tanto avevo amato, sebbene non riuscii ad empatizzare con lei tanto quanto mi era successo con Anne. Molto probabilmente, ciò fu dovuto dal fatto che Zdena scrisse le sue memorie quando era ormai adulta, per cui lo stile di scrittura si differenzia nettamente da quello di un'irruente adolescente, coetanea della lettrice che ero al tempo. Ma in ogni caso, ricordo che al tempo lessi questo libro tutto d'un fiato, e rimasi soddisfatta una volta voltata l'ultima pagina: aver potuto leggere di un lieto fine, nonostante l'amarissimo e straziante svolgimento, mi permise di posare soddisfatta il libro senza rimanerne troppo legata dal punto di vista emotivo. D'altronde, Zdena era riuscita ad andare avanti con la sua vita, vincendo contro il male del suo tempo. La sua testimonianza mi aveva aiutata a conoscere meglio le dinamiche all'interno di quell'inferno terrestre, ad alimentare la mia rabbia contro quegli uomini che avevano portato tanta distruzione, ma una volta concluso il libro fui semplicemente pervasa da un senso di soddisfazione, scaturita dal fatto che avevo potuto finalmente leggere di una rivincita contro il male portata avanti con l'arma più potente di tutte: l'umanità.
Ad anni di distanza, Zdena non l'ho ancora dimenticata. Certo, questo libro non mi ha colpito tanto quanto la testimonianza di Anne, ma questo è dovuto semplicemente dalla differenza biografica tra le due scrittrici. Leggere un libro consapevoli che l'autrice è sopperita all'odio dei nazisti fa certo più effetto che leggere di una ragazza che invece è sopravvissuta, ma le due storie sono egualmente importanti per la battaglia del ricordo. Raccontami Un Altro Mattino è un libro di un gran peso, che tiene viva la memoria degli orrori del passato ma che al contempo dona speranza grazie alla storia di un'amicizia che, grazie ai suoi valori, ha saputo dare la forza necessaria per sopravvivere ad un inferno scaturito dall'odio.

Holocaust memoirs always seem to fill me with equal parts despair and hope. This was no exception. I think the unique, punctuated prose made the text feel very authentic. It was easy to allow my mind to accept the scattered, non-linear narrative because it fit so well with the chaotic and irrational events.
I think what I most appreciate about Zdena Berger’s approach is the detail given to the liberation and the return to life outside the camp. There were so many things I hadn’t considered like finding someone living in your old house, or social reintegration after trauma, or the physical and mental recovery that took place. These were all as significant a part of the story as the years spent imprisoned.
This book was powerful.

Tell Me Another Morning is truly a tale of surviving your worst through sisterhood,companionship,family ties,and character. Ms.Berger's novel expresses the story of a young girl who survives the Holocaust in a subtle, amiable way that allows readers both young and old to enjoy a tell-all book of a Holocaust survivor. In comparison to the usual gory, more tearful portrayal of the Holocaust in other more adult novels. The book truly tells a tale of how a young girl overcomes strife and persecution as she grows in to womanhood.

A beautiful perspective on surviving the holocaust.
September 12, 2013
This book was not an easy read. It was written in a such a way that it was hard to follow because it skipped around a lot. The horrors of the holocaust were some what shielded by the wording. Instead of "nazi's" they were the men wearing green. The word death was never said. This made it easier in some ways for the reader to deal with. I don't believe the book was written to scare people about the horrors of the holocaust but instead to tell the story of a woman who suffered many tragedies. There are very few mention of men in this book, one of the main themes is the friendship between young girls and they way they supported each other in some of the hardest times. I don't think that I appreciated the book as much until I read a study packet by the publisher I found online, i will include the link at the bottom. This helped piece together the different chapters and also help me understand the historical aspect of the book. While it was not my favorite book ever, I am glad I got a chance to read this brilliant story of a young woman going through a horrible tragedy.

This book is a really good book but I just give three stars because I don't like the book that about Holocaust. I can't stand the people especially girls that so poor. I am not feel comfortable when I read this book.
Tania is a poor girl but she is brave. Her brother's murder, and her mother's choice to stay with her father and die in the gas chamber rather than be transported to another camp. Throughout the novel, I can see claustrophobic uncertainty, grief, terror, exhaustion, and Tania's sustaining hope. And then, Tania back to Prague after the war is unforgettable and devastating, as she observes people wearing "normal" clothes, eating ice cream, and traveling on buses between work and home. She feel so sad and also sorry about herself.
And in this book, the food is also a important point. Tania always hungry. If she can find a bag of sugar or anything that she can eat, she just want to save them. But if the solder notice they have food, they would be hungry again because the solder not allow them to eat.
This book is so sad and I always cry during the time that I read. I don't like the book about the Holocaust except this book. This book is one of my favorite book ever.

Tell Me Another Morning is an autobiographical novel that depicts the experience of Tania, a 14-year-old, living an ordinary life in Prague until she is taken with her family and their community to the Nazi concentration camps. With spare and breathtaking prose, Tell Me Another Morning offers a teenaged girl’s experience of the Holocaust that is unique and indelible in its poignancy, its warning, and its beauty. Through Tania's eyes, Zdena Berger captures the claustrophobic uncertainty of the imprisonment, the powerlessness, and the systematic degradation imposed by the Nazis. As in the work of Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi, and Imre Kertesz, Berger captures the experiences of Czech Jews during World War II, while illuminating the small moments that enabled hope and survival for girls coming of age in the Nazi concentration camps.

I am interested in the story about the Holocaust. And I know more about it pass this book. I ’m not really finishing it. But I can know this book is talk about a teenage girl's experience in the Nazi concentration camps. Everyday, they think about their food. When I read this book, I notice what they eat is always be mentioned. And in her experience I can find she and her family are often forced to change lives. I really love the story about them in the Nazi concentration camps. I think this book tell us the real life of the people in the Holocaust time. And it reveals the Nazi period the hardship and grief of the people. I am scared by what happened to her. But in the same time I admire her strength and courage throughout her ordeal.
This book is an amazing book. I usually don’t like autobiographical novel, but I love this book.

This book was difficult to read. There were times where I was really into it and wanted to read more, but then there were times when I just couldn't stand it and wanted to stop reading it and just forget about it. Every chapter was a new story. It didn't flow like normal books. In one story she could be talking about her parents and in the next she'll be on the train to the next camp. It also seemed unrealistic because at one part Ilse was taken away before Eve and Tania. Then when Tania and Eve got to the camp where Ilse should have died, Ilse was still alive. Another thing is that how the three girls seemed to always end up back together. I wasn't around at the time so I don't know for sure but I feel like that wouldn't actually happen from what I've read in the past about the Holocaust.

Tell Me Another Morning is a very intense book. It is a book about the author's experience during the Holocaust, well-known as World War II. It's happy but mostly sad. But, compared to other books about World War II, this book isn't the best. The beginning of Tell Me Another Morning was very boring and drab. The story plot is very very flat, there is no climax what so ever. To me Tell Me Another Morning is a very boring book, and there way other books that are have the same experience as this book but are WAY more interesting. Books like The Diary of Anne Frank and Maus have the same idea of this book but are way much better and so much interesting. So, Tell Me Another Morning sorry but I'm gonna have to give you 0 stars.
September 16, 2013
I feel like this book really highlighted the real struggles of the holocaust. Tania went through a lot, some problems she couldn't solve, but had the help and support from her family and friends Isle and Eva. I thought the book was filled with life lessons and hope for the Jewish people. Tania struggled but she never gave up. Even in the worst moments, when both her parents surrendered, Tania was strong and knew that she wanted to get out of this battle alive. And with as many people she loved as possible. Tania saw people dying all around her, and many times thought and wondered if she would ever die that way and so soon. This book reflects and speaks to the people that went through this tragic traumatic experience and teaches other to never give in to their enemies.

This book was excellent because it really told the point of view from girl so well and it felt so real. I even teared up a little. I don't like to read and I was told to read this book , it amazed me. What people went through during the holocaust is just unbelievable . When the children and family were pulled apart and were told they were never going see each other again was the most heart wrenching part of the book. I do recommend this book to everyone who wants to know what families went through during the holocaust. But, I do not recommend this book to people who do not like sad and very dicriptive scenes which are about the jews getting beaten to death.
September 12, 2013
Tell me another morning was a book that was based in the time era of the holacaust. told by a young girls point of view and as she grew up in the camp. life was hard for everyone in the camps but the harder thing was how the book flowed and what text she used. the why the author wrote was in a poem like form and people didn't know where she was coming from sometimes. i would not recommend people read this book because its confusing to follow and also poorly written that is why i gave the book one star.
September 13, 2013
This book is kind of special. The author wrote the story with the different point of view. For me this story is kind of struggle. It spends many pages to describe the background. But it's still impressive at the end. This book talks about a girl who is in the Nazi concentration camps. Her parents stay with each other in the gas chamber. The story talks about the life of that girl in the camp with the men and guards. She had hard time in the camp. But when she gets out she finds that people are in the normal life. It's just like two different world here and there.

This astonishingly beautiful book is an "autobiographical novel" based on Zdena Berger's four years of surviving multiple concentration camps, from the age of 16 to 20. Somehow she manages to inspire hope in readers; with directness and honesty, she shares her harrowing experiences in heart-rending lyricism. First published in 1961, at the same time as the memoir NIGHT by Elie Wiesel, this book quietly disappeared for many decades, until it was resurrected by Paris Press.
Read it. Zdena Berger's story can change your life forever.

Many years ago, I met Zdena Berger, when I paid a visit to her husband, the author George Price. She was soft-spoken and gracious and elegant serving tea, her arms covered on a summer day in a long-sleeved blouse. Only later did I read her book, and what struck me most was how, in the novelistic part of the book, she maintained the perspective of sane and normal and inquisitive perspective of youth, despite the horrors surrounding her. There was a kind of innocence undaunted by savagery. It is an amazing book.

A fictionalized version of the author's Holocaust experience being taken from her home in Prague. One of the things that makes this book different from most Holoscaust stories is that she never names any of the places where she is sent. Rather, she describes them in every day details. Also her description of a conversation with a non-Jew acquaintace after she returns home is powerful in the inability of the non-Jew to comprehend the depth of what the young Jewish woman dealt with.

I have yet to read the authors notes on the book.
Anyway, I found this book very interesting, I really enjoy the genre of Holocaust era books and the perspective of Talia is very unique. I did not however like that there wasnt really a plot. This book is a documentary style novel. Which is very interesting to read for me, but some may want more of a "Beginning, Middle and End" type story.
I am planning to read the authors notes and i will probably understand more about the plot and themes.

I think that this book has a very interesting story. The experiences talked about sound very traumatic and difficult. I am finding the book some what difficult to get through but it has very detailed descriptions. The things being talked about are very interesting and you can get an idea of what the holocaust was like. I would only recommend this book if you are interested in reading about the holocaust.

I personally did not care for this book that much because i do not like sad books or books that are autobiographies. To me I think they tell a good story but not enough to grab your attention. I think that people are intrusted in things like that. I'm not saying it was not a good book I just think other books have grabbed my attention better then this one.But i still read the book and it was still very intrusting.

I thought it was a very good book because I felt like I was there and I could picture what every thing looked like. This is a book I mite recommend to someone who is into reading about the holocaust but it was not my favorite book to read even though I like to picture the book it was way to wordy for me. On the other hand I did like the meaning behind it which is to never give up or give in and that is one thing I liked about the book.

This is an autobiography of a young woman (from) that spent four years in the concentration camps. The book is written from the point of a woman. I had trouble putting this book down. Very well written. I like how you got the idea of what was going on, without all the horrors. I find reading these books makes me want to become a better and kinder woman.

This was an amazing book, and I really enjoyed reading it, despite the horrors the author went through. It saddened me, and is hard to read, but at the same time I admire her strength and courage throughout her ordeal. I would recommend for anyone interested in learning more about the Holocaust to get this book. I loved it.

I thought that this book was about a young teenager at the time of world war 2 in the concentration camps. She had to live with everything that was going on around her. People were being murdered just because they were Jews. Mostly Hitler made the concentration camps hard to cope with. This book reminded me about the book Number Of The Stars.

In the book, "Tell Me Another Morning" it tells the story of a girl who is forced into a work camp during the time when the Natzis tried to take over Germany. The Natzis imprisoned Jews, Gipsies, those who were physically retarted and the elderly in work camps and they worked them to death. You learn about what life was like for young jewish girls who were unfortunately put in these camps.
