In 1939, seventeen-year-old Austrians Jacob Silverman and Rachael Goldberg are bright, talented, and deeply in love. Because they are Jews, their families lose everything: their jobs, possessions, money, contact with loved ones, and finally their liberty. Jacob and Rachael and their families are removed from their comfortable Austrian homes into a decrepit ghetto where they are forced to live in squalor. From there, the families are sent to the Nazi concentration camp Theresienstadt, where Rachael and Jacob secretly become man and wife. Revel in their excitement as they escape through a harrowing tunnel and join local partisans to fight the Nazis. Ride the fetid train to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where only slavery, sickness, brutality, and death await. Stung by the death of loved ones, enslaved and starved, the young lovers have nothing to count on but faith, love, and courage. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

World War II and the holocaust with the hope and courage of a young
couple in love. Weinblatt weaves such detail into his story that the
reader comes away with a powerful sense of what life was like for the
Jews during this horrible period in history. Weinblatt’s knowledge of
the slums the Jews were initially forced into, then the death camps
that followed, is masterful. While the story can be incredibly bleak
at times, Weinblatt uses Jacob and Rachael’s intense love for each
other to lift the mood and give us all something to hope for.
Jacob’s Courage may be a work of fiction but it shines a spotlight on
the truth. Anyone interested in World War II, the Holocaust, Jewish
history, or a love story, should pick up Jacob’s Courage. ( )
