Text: English (translation)
Original Language: Hebrew
Bondy, herself a survivor of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, has written a biography of Edelstein that is at the same time a history of the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. This is not simply an impressionistic account, but a historically accurate work as well. Theresienstadt was a Potemkin village during World War II, i.e., the Nazis used it to show off as a model city for the Jews. In fact, it was a way-station to the concentration camp Auschwitz. Bondy succeeds in showing the social, political, and moral dilemmas confronting the Jews in that village as exemplified by the leader of the community, Edelstein. Highly recommended for both experts and the general reader.
