Sinossi
Un grande romanzo
La guerra infuria in tutta Europa quando Ania e Danuta, due sorelle, vengono tragicamente separate.
Ania è imprigionata e condotta in un campo di concentramento nazista, dove la attendono atrocità oltre ogni immaginazione. I soldati rapiscono le ragazze polacche più belle della zona per destinarle al bordello annesso al campo di lavoro di Wysznica. Ania viene rinchiusa in una stanza lussuosa e a farle visita sono il comandante del campo, Fischer, e il suo secondo, Schole… Danuta si rifugia nei meandri delle città polacche, dove si nasconde un barlume di resistenza all’occupazione, e inizia una ricerca infaticabile per ritrovare Ania. Le due sorelle sono determinate a resistere e sopravvivere, nella speranza di incontrarsi ancora. Ma anche la volontà più ferrea, durante la guerra, può essere messa a dura prova. Decenni dopo, a chilometri di distanza, la storia di Ania e Danuta tornerà alla luce, insieme a segreti rimasti sepolti a lungo e capaci di esplodere e distruggere ancora vite umane.

Recensioni
Look team, this was not especially spectacularly well written, but it was a wild ride. This was a purely title-based purchase for me, and my expectations (with the cover promise of historical accuracy) was a compelling, graphic, Holocaust story. All I really need to say, is Mathews delivers. It’s no Leggi tutto
Wow! A few weeks ago I would have said there wasn't much that I hadn't read about the Holocaust however I had no idea that any concentration camp had a brothel! This story is told with a sensitivity that carries you along with the characters. The ended displays the power of the apparently powerless
My first thoughts were that this book had a solid feel and bright appealing cover despite the serious topic it was delving into. I was also attracted by the notation that the story was based on true events. The narrative was very easy to follow and I enjoyed the weaving of modern times with past even Leggi tutto
I love a good historical fiction story and this book certainly delivered. Strong characters, an epic story and all the while I"m learning about events that really happened during World War II. This one goes straight to the mustread again part of my bookshelf.
I am a simple creature: you put a clickbait title in front of me, and I will read it. To this book’s credit, while the brothel had little to do with Hitler himself, the actual story was plenty good. It was compassionate, desensationalised, well-researched, and deeply frightening. I’m still not sure w Leggi tutto
‘Listen to me, I tell you. I tell you this: she was a good neighbour, a good worker and a good woman.’ The novel opens in New Jersey, USA, on 7 February 2000. Something, involving Stella’s friend Anna, has happened. It looks like she is going to kill someone: who, and why? The next part of the story t Leggi tutto
‘This story is for all the Anna Brenewski’s who suffered in the concentration camps of WWII.’ Steve Matthews Hitler’s Brothel is the second book from Australian author Steve Matthews. I was immediately intrigued yet disturbed by the title and immediately turned to the author notes to learn there was Leggi tutto
If you are looking for a well researched historical novel, then don’t go past Hitler’s Brothel. Australian author Steve Matthews has written a good rollicking tome that draws the reader in quickly. He brings readers to a final dilemma that none of us would want. Along the way, Matthew’s tale follows Leggi tutto
I have read a lot of holocaust stories and never thought there would be a brothel in a concentration camp. This story is heartbreaking from the first page to the last which is very descriptive and horrifying at times. Definitely not a story for the faint hearted. A well written story that I couldn't Leggi tutto
