THE SECRET OF THE READING CLUB

el martes, 1 June Jenny L's book. Witterick, ‘My mother’s secret’, is the one chosen to comment on the Santa Eulària des Riu Reading Club. A subtle plot and simple language of a moving tale that crosses the lives of two Jewish families and a German deserter with those of a mother and daughter.

The story of the novel tells how Franciszka and her daughter Helena lead an ordinary life until 1939, when Hitler's troops invade your country. Protecting Jews in occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka decides to risk everything to hide Vilheim, one of the commander's personal guards, and two groups of Jews in their little home in Sokal. So that everyone can survive, she and her daughter must outsmart their neighbors and the fearsome German commander…

In ‘My mother’s secret’, It is worth noting the heroic behavior of Franciszka who was able to hide the Bronek family for two years above the pigsty where she kept her pigs. (three adults and a child); in the attic of his house to the German soldier Vilheim and in a cellar that the doctor himself dug, to the family of Dr. Wolenski (two adults and a child). With her work and her ingenuity, she managed to keep all of them alive without being reported by her neighbors..
