Descriptions du produit

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10?Matas's historical novel shows that the persecution of Europe's Jewish population did not end with their liberation from the Nazi death camps. She tells the story of Ruth, 15, who makes her way back from Buchenwald to her Polish homeland to discover that Jews are still viewed by others with suspicion and hatred. Desperate and alone, she meets Saul, who persuades her to join a group of refugees planning to emigrate to Palestine. Historically, the book is accurate and references to actual events are interwoven neatly into the narrative. The author does oversimplify the position of the British and their decision to stop Jewish immigration to Palestine, and this is a definite weakness. Nonetheless, the story is strong and compelling and the use of descriptive language creates a mood of desperation and hope combined with a commitment to survival. The use of flashbacks is effective and serves to sustain the mood as well as add depth to Ruth's character. After the War is a thought-provoking novel that offers great insight into the current problems in the Middle East and the passion with which the Jewish people will fight to protect what they perceive to be rightfully theirs.?Robyn Nicoline Ryan, Otterville Public School, Ontario

3.0étoiles sur 5 Engaging Story, but Weak Delivery, Avril 1 2004
Par John Gravitt (Cary, NC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: After the war (Hardcover)
Ruth Mendenberg survives Auschwitz concentration camp, but has nothing to live for with the death of 80 family members. Then she meets Saul, a Zionist Brichah organizer, who sends her on an assignment that changes her life. She, along with a few other Zionist leaders, must take a group of 20 children from Poland to the new Palestine.

The simple writing style, while appropriate for a young audience, may bore older audiences. The book is written in the present tense which causes the author's voice to resemble journal entries. The reader must listen to the narrator summarize the story.

This exciting story will attract middle school students, but lacks the depth that older audiences require. The beginning of the story lacked conflict and character development. Ruth's meeting with the Zionist group is very shallow with, other than Nate, Miriam, and Saul, all the characters in the group dropping out of the story.

Other than the slow start and the inherent weakness of writing in the first person, I think After the War is a good read. It was an aspect of post WWII life I new nothing about.

Par Un client
Ruth Mendenberg is trying to get away from the Nazis. She thinks the Nazis have killed her whole family. When Ruth goes to an agentcy to find out if her parents have been found, and man asks her if she wants to help start a Jewish community in Eretz, Isreal They have to overcome many hard tasks, like exaping a German camp and making it back to there ship which is taking them to Israel. British troops try to take over the ship but before they can capture the Jewish people in the ship, they make it to Isreal.
Overall i think this was a great book. It also taught me alot of things about the war.
