La promesa de Gertruda (Plataforma testimonio) (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
Michael Stolowitzky, the only son of a wealthy Jewish family in Poland, is only three years old when the war breaks out and his family loses everything. His father, desperate to save his business, travels to France, leaving his son in the hands of his mother and Gertruda Babilinska, a Catholic nanny who works with the family. When Michael’s mother suffers a stroke, Gertruda promises the dying woman that she will bring Michael to Palestine and raise him as her own son. Written with the invaluable assistance of Michael Stolowitzky himself, La promesa de Gertruda re-creates the extraordinary trip that Michael and Gertruda took to survive. Gripping vignettes bring to life the people who help ensure their survival, including SS Officer Karl Rink who makes it his life’s mission to save Jews after his own Jewish wife is murdered, and Dr. Berman, a Jewish physician who aids Michael and Gertruda during their worst times. A story of courage and moral strength, La promesa de Gertruda transcends history and religion to reveal the compassion and hope that miraculously thrives through a war with no apparent ending.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. 372 pp. Michael Stolowitzky, hijo único de una acaudalada familia judía polaca, tiene tres años cuando estalla la guerra y su familia lo pierde todo. Desesperado por salvar la empresa, su padre se va a Francia, dejando a su hijo al cuidado de su madre y Gertruda Babilinska, una niñera católica muy unida a la familia. Cuando su madre sufre un infarto, Gertruda le promete en su lecho de muerte que llevará a Michael a Palestina y lo criará como a su propio hijo. Escrito con el asesoramiento exhaustivo de Michael Stolowitzky, La promesa de Gertruda es la crónica de un viaje extraordinario, el que emprendieron Michael y Gertruda para sobrevivir. En sus fascinantes estampas cobran vida quienes velaron por su vida, como Karl Rink, un oficial de las SS decidido a salvar a tantos judíos como fuera posible tras la ejecución de su mujer judía, o el doctor Berman, un médico judío que ayudó a Michael y Gertruda cuando atravesaban su peor momento. Testimonio fiel de un acto de gran valentía y entereza ante el terror, La promesa de Gertruda trasciende la historia para revelar la compasión y la esperanza que siguen iluminando milagrosamente un mundo asolado por guerras sin fin.
