During the Nazi occupation of Holland Turing World War II, Jewish
writer Marga Minco's parents and siblings were deported to
concentration camps. None returned. In her first novel, Minco
evokes with simplicity and distance her memories from the years
during the war: the night her family gathered to sew the cloth
stars to their coats that would identify them as Jewish, the day
the recruitment order for the work camp came in, and the police
raids that emptied whole streets. "Durante la ocupacion nazi de
Holanda en la segunda guerra mundial, los padres y los hermanos de
la escritora judia Marga Minco fueron deportados a campos de
concentracion. Ninguno regreso. En su primera novela Minco evoca
con sencillez y distanciamiento sus recuerdos de los anos de la
guerra: la noche en que toda la familia se reunio para coser en los
abrigos las estrellas de tela que los identificaban como judios, el
dia que llego la orden de reclutamiento para el campo de trabajo y
las redadas que vaciaban calles enteras. "
