Showing results for "Doctors" in Jewish

In the middle of summer, omnipresent heat radiates as a group of elderly people are remembering their youth. The story focuses on two sisters, Leokadia and Helena, who live together in a retirement home not far from Warsaw. These are not ordinary stories they are sharing, because both of them were imprisoned as children in Auschwitz during World War II.

When William von Antrim decided to pursue a career as a doctor, working to help Jewish survivors recover from the horrors of World War II, he believed he was doing all in his power to help his people survive. A German refugee himself, William fled to America with his mother after she was accused of being of Jewish descent. William's father left them with only his estate, his family name, and his legacy. A legacy that proves to be William's downfall.

El cronógrafo del Dr. Cohen representa la vida de una búlgara joven y moderna. Las dificultades, altibajos y metamorfosis por las que tiene que pasar la protagonista para llegar a la catarsis. Esta novela trata el tema del amor en todos sus aspectos. En la historia íntima presentada se combinan la poética visual y el humor tosco, la nostalgia por una identidad vulnerable, los amores no compartidos y la manera en la que estos son vividos y perdidos para siempre.
