As a young Jewish orphan, she survived the Theresienstadt Ghetto and managed to escape the gas chambers. The journalist alternates his own report with fragments of the story that she told him. He also expresses his own emotions, doubts, criticism and philosophical contemplations regarding the Nazi's 'Final Solution', and his compassion for the Holocaust victims. The journalists tale is laced with dialogues, which results in a fairly complex narrative, using white spaces and typography to distinguish between the different elements: Renate's life study is printed in italics. All chapters start with a question, statement or contemplation in bold print. This is an intriguing, captivating novel that gives us food for thought in an original way. Very suitable for making children from the age of twelve aware of the Holocaust.
