Her story is terrifying yet fascinating.\" Ian McEwan. The author maps the depths of Hell and, in doing so, captivates the reader with an impeccable work of art. March 1939. German troops invade Prague, and the terror begins for Czech Jews. Thus begins Helen Lewis's \"It's Time to Speak,\" a remarkable and true story of courage and resistance during the Holocaust. The book was published in Europe in 1992, increasing this survivor's fame and recognition as a writer, broadcaster, and orator. Helen, a young dance student in Prague during the outbreak of World War II, ended up in the Terezín ghetto and later deported to Auschwitz. Separated from her family, she struggled to live amid the carnage of Hitler's Final Solution. How and what she did to survive is a moving story, told with humor, frankness, and some anger, but never once giving way to self-pity. Like most books on the subject, It's Time to Speak is harsh and describes one of the most complex realities humanity has ever experienced. However, one of the unique features of this story is the presence of dance, the author's greatest passion. As Michael Longley says in the foreword, \"where chaos once reigned, there was now dance.\" Through dance, Helen managed to prolong her life for years. Helen not only described the horrors of the concentration camps—which are, of course, shocking—but also analyzed the other side, that of the Nazis. According to her, not all were unscrupulous men, like the kind soldier who rescued her from adverse situations and the officer who placed her with the camp's dance troupe for months. \"An inspiring, deeply moving, and fascinating read. It's an unforgettable book, to keep close to your heart.\" Independent on Sunday: “Unlike other books on the Holocaust, Helen Lewis sees traces of humanity where, in all fairness, she had no obligation to see them. She refuses to dehumanize the people who tried to dehumanize her—an extraordinary feat for someone in her position.” The Guardian","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176094220540,"sku":"9788528617962","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4fba3b8c3ce0b1914cd06d29b658c12f_93754449-0f36-4db0-9512-8c808dc68291.jpg?v=1778326581"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/helen-lewis.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
