ROMAN’S JOURNEY

Book ID/图书代码： 00970007B12315

English Summary/英文概要： Roman Halter is an optimistic and boisterous schoolboy in 1939, when he and his family gather behind their net curtains to watch the Volksdeutsch neighbours in their small town in western Poland greet the arrival of Hitler’s armies. Within days, the family home has been seized, 12-year-old Roman is a slave of the local, and, returning from an errand, silently witnesses his Jewish classmates being bayoneted to death by soldiers at the edge of town. And there begins the journey—first into the Lodz ghetto, the on to Auschwitz, then Stutthof and Dresden—a remarkable six-year journey through some of the darkest caverns of Nazi Europe. Roman tells his indelible story with a simplicity and grace that allow the extraordinary facts of his suffering and survival to speak for themselves.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1939年的Roman Halter还是个乐观、淘气的男学生，在波兰东部的小城镇中，当他和他的家人躲在窗帘背后监视Volksdeutsch（在塞尔维亚和克罗地亚东部的班塔特地区、匈牙利和罗马尼亚西部的希本巴根地区里，居住着泛德意志人，这些人和德国和奥地利的德意志人同宗同族，由于没有在当时德国境内，因此被称为Volksdeutsch ）的邻居时，正好被希特勒的军队印入眼帘。几天后，Roman的整个家族被人逮捕了，12岁的Roman成为了当地的一名奴隶，在一次跑腿任务时，他亲眼见证了他的犹太族同学在城镇的边远地区被士兵刺死了。于是他开始了远行——首先到达Lodz ghetto，然后至Auschwitz，接着是Stutthof，以及Dresden——他在六年的时间里几乎踏遍了欧洲纳粹最为黑暗的地下洞穴，构成了他与众不同的特殊远行经历。Roman以平实、善意的语句讲述了一个让人难以忘怀、印象深刻的故事，让读者更为亲近感受到他那段痛苦、挣扎的真实生活体验。
