The Butterfly And The Axe - Omer Bartov

Descriere The Butterfly And The Axe - Omer Bartov

\n \nSpring 1944 A Jewish family is murdered in a remote Ukrainian village. Who were they? Who were the killers?\n \nThree generations later, an Israeli woman and a British man of Ukrainian origins set out to find out how their families were implicated in this crime. They also discover how this untold murder has warped their own lives.\n \n \n\n \nNarrated by an unnamed historian, and based on fragments of memories, testimonies, diaries, letters and confessions, this novel seeks to fill a gap in the historical record of the Holocaust by reimagining those who were murdered and erased from memory, and to shed light on the transgenerational effects of trauma.\n \n \n\n \nOmer Bartov was born in Israel and teaches history in the United States. His mother emigrated from Galicia to Palestine before World War II. Most of the rest of his family were murdered under unknown circumstances in the Holocaust.\n
