We will go to town Edith Bruck
- Plot We will go to town Edith Bruck
Among the lives of Edith Bruck's characters, full of enthusiasm and trust in the brotherhood of men, we meet Silvia, thrown by her parents from the train of the deportees in an extreme attempt at salvation, who will become attached to Robert, the son of a Nazi hierarch, of whom she will become the sister he has always wanted; or the bitter love of a lively Jewish girl who hates going to the river to do her laundry and can't wait for winter to freeze it so she can go skating with the charming "kind" boy Endre; or, again, the ransom of a woman who, after the war, manages to get hired as a waitress from the restaurant in Haifa where she begged for a meal.
And then there's Lenke, who describes to his little brother Beni the world he can't see and continually promises him a new life in the city, where an operation should give him sight, but the crudeness of reality distorts his plans.
A story of brotherly love that inspired the 1966 film of the same name directed by Nelo Risi.
Edith Bruck, of Hungarian origin, was born into a poor, large Jewish family. In 1944, little more than a child, her first trip took her to the ghetto of the capital and from there to Auschwitz, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen. She survived the deportation, after years of pilgrimage, she finally arrives in Italy.
In 1962 she published the volume of short stories Andremo in città, from which her husband Nelo Risi draws the film of the same name. In her works she testified to the black event of the twentieth century. It has received several literary awards and has been translated into multiple languages. Among her works published in Italy we remember: Who loves you like this (Marsilio 1994), L'amore offeso (Marsilio 2002), Letter from Frankfurt (Mondadori 2004).
