Über diesen Titel

Torn from her homeland...her parents murdered.... How could she cope?

When little Hannelore (Hanna) Zack left Cologne, Germany, on a train bound for London as a seven-year-old mädchen (young girl) on July 24, 1939, she had no way of knowing that she was part of the Kindertransport, an epic rescue effort that would save 10,000 Jewish children from Hitler's Nazi regime by granting them safe passage to England. In the coming years, Hanna would learn the painful truth: After being stripped of their business, forced from their Zuhause (home), and deported to endure six months of inhumane conditions in the Lodz Ghetto, her parents were gassed in a brutally efficient killing operation in a remote, forested area near Chelmno, Poland, on May 3, 1942.

Written over a four-year period beginning when Hanna was about 75 years old, A Garland for Ashes is both a gripping detective story recounting the heartbreaking process of discovering her family's fate and a poignant account of her journey from vengeful hatred to forgiveness and release from bitterness.

In the year 1977 ago I met Hanna Zack Miley for the first time - long before her journey into her painful past had started. It is now the beginning of March 2022. At this very time Russian Troops are invading the Ukraine and my wife and I are listening to the audible version of Hanna's book. We can only handle an hour at the time, as her story is extremely moving and relevant. Susan Tackenberg reads skillfully. Certain portions of the text she narrates even with a German and other accents. By doing so the whole narrative becomes very vivid and real.

With many facts Hanna is also placing her story into a historical perspective of Germany at the time of the Nazi-Terror. There is much to be discovered about what happened when and how the ideology of the German "Volk" was formed at those terrible years. And it is not only Hanna's story. She tells the truth in an exemplary way about countless Jews who were humiliated, robbed, deported, deported, tortured and killed.

It is the story of truth and love and much more.

extremely well narrated
