Varsovia, segunda guerra mundial, asedio nazi sobre los judíos polacos… En esta novela la historia nos habla de injusticias, de sufrimientos, de marginados y perseguidos.

Sad, good, worthy. Holocaust through the eyes of children. This is the story of two Jewish boys in Poland during the Holocaust. They are young enough that they are not always entirely sure what is going on, even as they gradually lose their entire family. The world around them is just a game, like the war they play at with their small lead soldiers. They make their way from the suburbs of Warsaw to Bergen-Belsen, playing their games the whole way. Uri Orlev manages to portray the world exactly as a child sees it, even in the midst of war and death.

Una storia vera. Storia di deportazione.
Storia di due bambini a cui è stata rubata l'infanzia, ma che hanno mantenuto integra la loro innocenza.
