0€ 19,95Could the twin brothers be considered lucky, being the only concentration camp survivors from the Jewish community in Elburg. And what about the few dozen out of 660 men deported from Putten who returned after the war, were they lucky?

For the spectator the war lasts from the beginning till the end… for the victim it lasts the rest of his life. And even then it is not over…
The story confronts the reader with controversial subjects like the ‘second and third generation syndrome’, the relationship Judaism-Christianity and anti-semitism. At the same time the author interweaves humour and gravity in the daily life of the main characters.
