Mika ha dodici anni quando il cappotto viene cucito. Nathan il sarto lo confeziona per suo nonno nella prima settimana di marzo del 1938. L'ultimo anno di libertà per Varsavia, l'ultimo anno di libertà per Mika e la sua famiglia. Quel semplice cappotto di lana nero a sei bottoni, con una stella di David cucita sulla manica destra, li segue silenzioso e apparentemente inanimato nel ghetto dove vengono rinchiusi insieme a centinaia di amici e conoscenti. E quando il nonno muore, rimane per Mika l'unica eredità in grado di proteggerlo dal gelo e dalla paura. All'apparenza si tratta di un cappotto qualunque, non fosse per le sue tasche che nascondono altre tasche, pertugi e vicoli ciechi. Una ragnatela di luoghi invisibili in cui far sparire i segreti più preziosi, a partire da un intero teatro di burattini di cartapesta dai colori vivaci: un principe, un giullare, un coccodrillo e molti altri. Quale migliore sorpresa per distrarre il cugino malato e i vicini, stipati in una stanza mal ridotta, di uno spettacolo di burattini? In poco tempo tutto il ghetto parla del piccolo burattinaio che gira di casa in casa strappando sorrisi anche ai più infelici. La notizia si propaga veloce e giunge fino ai soldati tedeschi. Fino a Max, un ufficiale che rimane talmente affascinato dal piccolo inventafavole da trascinarlo in un patto terrificante: ogni sera Mika potrà uscire dal ghetto senza incontrare ostacoli, a patto però di recarsi di filato alla caserma delle SS e allestire per loro il teatro di burattini. Se saprà incantarli con le sue storie potrà ritornare ogni notte sano e salvo dalla sua famiglia, altrimenti... L'andirivieni dentro e fuori dal ghetto potrebbe essere nient'altro che una roulette russa contro la morte, per quel ragazzino di dodici anni armato solo dei propri burattini e della propria capacita` di incantare gli animi. Ma, con indosso il suo cappotto pieno di tasche, si rivela un'insospettabile via di fuga verso la salvezza. Eva Weaver riesce nella più difficile delle imprese, raccontare nel contempo il cuore fragile della tragedia, la perdita dell'innocenza di un bambino e la sua inesauribile capacita` di sognare di nuovo. Ricordandoci che, se ragazzini come Mika, con la loro infinita immaginazione, non fossero esistiti, i nazisti avrebbero addormentato i cuori, soffocato lo spirito, e alla fine avrebbero vinto.

Horace is pas twintig als Hitler in 1939 Tsjechoslowakije en Polen bezet. Hij neemt dienst in het Engelse leger en wordt in mei 1940 krijgsgevangen gemaakt. Na een gruwelijke reis belandt hij in een Duits werkkamp in Polen. Ontsnappen is onmogelijk vanwege de geïsoleerde ligging van het kamp. Dan ontmoet Horace de zeventienjarige tolk Rosa uit Silezië en wordt meteen verliefd. Hij wil Rosa zo vaak mogelijk zien en breekt 's nachts uit om in de vroege ochtend weer terug te keren naar zijn barak. Keer op keer tarten Horace en Rosa het noodlot uit naam van de liefde. Dit boek is gebaseerd op een nog niet eerder verteld, waargebeurd verhaal; op informatie van ooggetuigeverslagen en meer dan honderd uur interviews. Het is een getuigenis over oorlogsgeweld, heldenmoed, en hoe liefde kan bloeien in de meest onmogelijke situaties.

The story of Mika, a Jewish boy, who becomes a puppeteer in the Warsaw ghetto - a stunning debut for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Boy with the Striped Pyjamas and Schindler's List I was twelve when the coat was made. Nathan, our tailor and dear friend, cut it for Grandfather in the first week of March 1938. It was the last week of freedom for Warsaw and for us... Even in the most difficult of lives, there is hope. And sometimes that hope comes in the form of a small boy, armed with a troupe of puppets - a prince, a girl, a fool, a crocodile with half-painted teeth.... When Mika's grandfather dies in the Warsaw ghetto, he inherits not only his great coat, but its treasure trove of secrets. In one remote pocket, he finds a papier mache head, a scrap of cloth...the prince. And what better way to cheer the cousin who has lost her father, the little boy who his ill, the neighbours living in one cramped room, than a puppet show? Soon the whole ghetto is talking about the puppet boy - until the day when Mika is stopped by a German officer and is forced into a secret life... This is a story about survival. It is an epic journey, spanning continents and generations, from Warsaw to the gulags of Siberia, and two lives that intertwine amid the chaos of war. Because even in wartime, there is hope...

Vergeleken met de laaiende razernij van een ontslagen vrouw, is de opwarming van de aarde een gezellig kampvuurtje. De Internationale Klimaatconferentie in Krakau moet de wereld redden van alle dreigende ecologische rampen. De LSD (Luxembourg Spy Department) wil helpen: ze sturen Red, The Runner, om dit verhaal met een BOEM te beginnen. Maar wanneer Red zijn missie voltooit, ontdekt hij dat de opwarming van de aarde slechts een gezellig kampvuurtje is, vergeleken met Scarlett's laaiende razernij om haar ontslag. Red probeert koel te blijven: "Je verdient een betere baan. Ik zal je helpen." Maar Scarlett is niet geïnteresseerd in een volgende baan; ze wil de crimineel die haar de vorige deed verliezen. Mannen hebben zo'n beetje alle verschrikkelijke dingen in de menselijke geschiedenis veroorzaakt. Vrouwen zijn allemaal lief en aardig, warm en zacht, vriendelijk, met een groot moederhart voor iedereen. Als een vrouw als Scarlett wraak wil, hoef je nergens bang voor te zijn.

When Glenn Kurtz stumbles upon an old family film in his parents' closet in Florida, he has no inkling of its historical significance or of the impact it will have on his life. The film, shot long ago by his grandfather on a sightseeing trip to Europe, includes shaky footage of Paris and the Swiss Alps, with someone inevitably waving at the camera. Astonishingly, David Kurtz also captured on color 16mm film the only known moving images of the thriving, predominantly Jewish town of Nasielsk, Poland, shortly before the community's destruction. "Blissfully unaware of the catastrophe that lay just ahead," he just happened to visit his birthplace in 1938, a year before the Nazi occupation. Of the town's three thousand Jewish inhabitants, fewer than one hundred would survive. Glenn Kurtz quickly recognizes the brief footage as a crucial link in a lost history. "The longer I spent with my grandfather's film," he writes, "the richer and more fragmentary its images became." Every image, every face, was a mystery that might be solved. Soon he is swept up in a remarkable journey to learn everything he can about these people. After restoring the film, which had shrunk and propelled across the United States; to Canada, England, Poland, and Israel; and into archives, basements, cemeteries, and even an irrigation ditch at an abandoned Luftwaffe airfield as he looks for shards of Nasielsk's Jewish history. One day, Kurtz hears from a young woman who had watched the video on the Holocaust Museum's website. As the camera panned across the faces of children, she recognized her grandfather as a thirteen-year-old boy. Moszek Tuchendler of Nasielsk was now eighty-six-year-old Maurice Chandler of Florida, and when Kurtz meets him, the lost history of Nasielsk comes into view. Chandler's laser-sharp recollections create a bridge between two worlds, and he helps Kurtz eventually locate six more survivors, including a ninety-six-year-old woman who also appears in the film, standing next to the man she would later marry. Painstakingly assembled from interviews, photographs, documents, and artifacts, Three Minutes in Poland tells the rich, harrowing, and surprisingly intertwined stories of these seven survivors and their Polish hometown. "I began to catch fleeting glimpses of the living town," Kurtz writes, "a cruelly narrow sample of its relationships, contradictions, scandals." Originally a travel souvenir, David Kurtz's home movie became the most important record of a vibrant town on the brink of extinction. From this brief film, Glenn Kurtz creates a poignant yet unsentimental exploration of memory, loss, and improbable survival—a monument to a lost world.
