Summary:
La muerte acechaba. Varsovia era el punto de concentración de los judíos que serían deportados hacia su destino final: el campo de exterminio de Treblinka. En medio de aquellos terribles días de 1943, un pequeño grupo rebelde de jóvenes dirigido por Mordejái Anilevich se preparó para dar la batalla de su vida contra las tropas nazis que controlaban por millares el gueto donde estaban hacinados. Esta es la subversiva historia de aquellos hombres y mujeres -casi todos adolescentes- que decidieron morir con la dignidad de los enloquecidos y los valientes antes que vivir sin libertad. Paco Ignacio Taibo II hace una precisa reconstrucción de los hechos que llevaron al alzamiento contra el horror del Tercer Reich y recrea magistralmente un pasaje del Holocausto tan poco conocido como estremecedor. Una resistencia imposible: la historia del levantamiento del gueto de Varsovia. Death lurked. Warsaw was the concentration point for Jews who would be deported to their final destination: the Treblinka death camp. In the midst of those terrible days in 1943, a small rebel group of young people led by Mordejai Anilevich prepared to fight the battle of their lives against the Nazi troops who controlled by the thousands the ghetto where they were overcrowded. This is the subversive story of those men and women - almost all adolescents - who decided to die with the dignity of the maddened and the brave rather than live without freedom. Paco Ignacio Taibo II makes a precise reconstruction of the events that led to the uprising against the horror of the Third Reich and masterfully recreates a passage of the Holocaust as little known as it is shocking. An Impossible Resistance: The Story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
