CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH HITLER
Book ID/图书代码: 06580009B32262
English Summary/英文概要: "My turn!" says Uncle Fuhrer, who has been watching us. He wants his photograph taken with me too. I know he wants to put his arm round me, like Papa, and I’m going to have to ignore him really hard to stop him.
"You, Helga Goebbels, are my favourite girl in the whole world," he says. "if only you were 20 years older!" He leans over me, his smell like the furniture in the servants’ quarters. The photographer is laughing. Papa is laughing. But I don’t take any notice. I turn right away and stare at the camera.
Chocolate Cake with Hitler tells the remarkable story of Helga Goebbels, daughter of the Nazi Party’s head of propaganda, who spent the last ten days of her life cooped up in a bunker in Berlin with Adolf Hitler.
As defeat closes in on the Germans, life in the bunker becomes increasingly fraught. There’s chocolate cake every day for tea with Uncle Fuhrer, but Helga cannot help noticing that all is not well among the grown-ups. Her parents grow more and more tense, the bunker grows daily more empty and, as even the soldiers who have been guarding them take their leave, Helga is faced with a terrible truth. Perhaps her perfect childhood has not been all that it seemed...
Chinese Summary/中文概要: “該我啦!”希特勒叔叔叫道,他正看著我,想要和我一起拍照片。我知道他想摟著我,就像爸爸媽媽那樣。我本想忽視他,但沒有辦法阻止他。
“海爾格•戈培爾,你是這個世界上我最喜歡的女孩,你要是早生20年該多好啊!”他靠著我,身上的味道聞起來像傭人房間的傢俱。這張照片看起來很好笑,爸爸大笑起來。我倒是沒注意什麼,我轉過頭,看著照相機。
《和希特勒一起吃巧克力蛋糕》這本書講述的是納粹黨國民教育和宣傳部部長的女兒海爾格•戈培爾童年的故事。她人生的最後十天和希特勒一起被關在軍事戰壕裡。當失敗即將面臨第三帝國時,戰壕裡的日子變得越來越難過。雖然海爾格每天都和希特勒一起吃巧克力蛋糕和喝茶,但她發覺大人之間的問題越來越嚴重。她的父母越來越緊張,戰壕裡的人一天天減少,保衛他們的士兵也私自逃走了。海格爾要面對一個恐怖的事實,她表面上完美的童年其實並不簡單。(Celia)
