The
Pianist
by Wladyslaw Szpilman
Written immediately after the end of World War II, this morally complex
Holocaust memoir is notable for its exact depiction of the grim details
of life in Warsaw under the Nazi occupation. "Things you hardly noticed
before took on enormous significance: a comfortable, solid armchair, the
soothing look of a white-tiled stove," writes Wladyslaw Szpilman, a pianist
for Polish radio when the Germans invaded. His mother's insistence on laying
the table with clean linen for their midday meal, even as conditions for
Jews worsened daily, makes palpable the Holocaust's abstract horror. Arbitrarily
removed from the transport that took his family to certain death, Szpilman
does not deny the "animal fear" that led him to seize this chance for escape,
nor does he cheapen his emotions by belaboring them. Yet his cool prose
contains plenty of biting rage, mostly buried in scathing asides (a Jewish
doctor spared consignment to "the most wonderful of all gas chambers,"
for example). Szpilman found compassion in unlikely people, including a
German officer who brought food and warm clothing to his hiding place during
the war's last days. Extracts from the officer's wartime diary (added to
this new edition), with their expressions of outrage at his fellow soldiers'
behavior, remind us to be wary of general condemnation of any group. --Wendy

A
Match Made in Hell: The Jewish Boy and the Polish Outlaw Who Defied the
Nazis
by Larry Stillman
Book Description: When Moniek (Morris) Goldner and his family
were uprooted from their Polish farming village during a German aktion,
the child-sized sixteen-year-old fled into the forests. He eventually met
up with his father, who had also escaped, and together they managed to
survive until a former friend betrayed the pair. Wounded and left for dead
beneath his father's murdered body, Goldner was rescued by the enigmatic
outlaw Jan Kopec, who was also in hiding, looking for ways to profit from
his criminal expertise.
For eighteen months Kopec hid the boy with him, moving from one area
to another, often staying in hideouts he had fashioned years earlier. At
first Kopec trained Goldner simply to serve as his accomplice in robberies
and black market activities. But before long he pushed the training to
a whole new level, making it possible for him to sell Goldner's services
to a shadowy resistance group which was becoming interested in the daring
young saboteur.
And through it all, these two disparate personalities-the quiet, small-framed
boy and the stocky, callous mercenary-forged an remarkable friendship and
co-dependency born of need and desperation in a hellish time and place.
