Description
In sparkling, imaginative prose, celebrated Czech writer Radka Denemarkova depicts a world of absurdity and darkness. Money from Hitler tells the story of Gita Lauschmanova, who as a young girl in 1945 leaves a concentration camp as an orphan to face the stunning realization that there is in fact nowhere to return, and that the oppression and savagery of the holocaust are far from over. For Gita, living is no longer a question of right or wrong. It is purely a question of survival. Money show more from Hitler received the Czech Republic's prestigious Magnesia Litera award for Czech Literature in the prose category for 2007. It is no being made into a feature film. show lessTags

" He too is seated, rubbing his red, sleep-starved eyes under their canopy of brush".
Gita Lauschmannová es una joven judía de 16 años que regresa a su casa en la región checoslovaca de los Sudetes después de haber sobrevivido al exterminio en Auschwitz donde han muerto sus padres y su hermana mayor. Cuando abre la puerta del que había sido su hogar se encuentra con una familia sentada a la cena en la mesa del comedor que le dice que ésa es su casa y que Gita no tiene nada que hacer allí. Gita descubre poco a poco que no sólo se ha quedado sin hogar sino que la opresión y la barbarie están lejos de terminar. Huérfana y pobre y sin lugar alguno al que regresar, para Gita la vida ya no es cuestión de bondad y maldad sino de pura supervivencia. Sesenta años más tarde, Gita regresa a su pueblo natal. Ha show more llegado el momento de exigir justicia. Su llegada trastorna a los que habían sido sus vecinos. Porque todo el mundo tiene algo o mucho que ocultar. También Gita. show less
