A Jewish woman escapes deportation during the Holocaust because she trips and falls over a carpet at the time when her relatives are arrested after apparently having been betrayed. She never saw the man who supposedly betrayed her family, until he shows up on the day before her 85th birthday. As she ventures to visit a bakery she is killed as she falls into a manhole. In subsequent pages it is revealed that the man did not betray her family. The arrest was most likely the result of a coincidence. In the Dutch language, the words "fall" (val), "trip" (val), "trap" (val) and "coincidence" (toeval) are all related. Possibly a wider semantic net can be discovered in this simple, but interesting tale. The structure of the story with alternating chapters seems modern for this author.

In the post-war period in the Netherlands, Freida Borgstein is relatively content in an old people’s home; but as she approaches a landmark birthday, her thoughts turn to her family lost in the war and a painful struggle with survivor’s guilt ensues. A short, moving story told in spare subtle style that is Minco’s hallmark. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
