Beschreibung

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Windsnap series, Liz Kessler, comes a “brutally honest and totally believable” (Booklist, starred review) story of three young friends whose fates are intertwined during the devastation of the Holocaust—based on a true story.

Three friends. One memory.
Vienna. 1936.

Three young friends—Leo, Elsa, and Max—spend a perfect day together, unaware that around them Europe is descending into a growing darkness and that they will soon be cruelly ripped apart from one another. With their lives taking them across Europe—to Germany, England, Prague, and Poland—will they ever find their way back to one another? Will they want to?

Inspired by a true story, When the World Was Ours is an extraordinary novel that is as powerful as it is heartbreaking and that shows how the bonds of love, family, and friendship allow glimmers of hope to flourish, even in the most hopeless of times.

Ein toller Jugendroman zu einem schwerwiegenden Thema. Ich interessiere mich seit meinem Studium für diese Zeit und habe schon viel gelesen. Dies ist eins der besten Romane über die NS Zeit finde ich. Gerade die einfache Sprache macht es so eindrücklich. Und die drei verschiedenen POVs zeigen auf wie unterschiedlich sich das Leben damals entwickeln konnte - durch Schicksal oder auch das gesellschaftliche Umfeld. Dieses Buch sollte als Schullektüre verwendet werden. Es ist sehr bedrückend, eindrucksvoll und kann zum Nachdenken und als Gesprächsanlass genutzt werden.

This book was horrifying, heartbreaking and excellent. I'm so glad I read no matter how upset it made me. I loved this book! There was so much too love and I loved it all, I had nothing I could fault with it. No matter how heartbreaking I found this book, I am so glad I read it and did love it. I felt so bad for all the characters, every time something happened to them and what happened to Max and Elsa. I was close to tears. I think a lot of the way I feel is down to Liz Kessler's excellent writing. It described everything perfectly - it wasn't too descriptive or horrifying but at the same time it didn't try to hide anything or make the Holocaust seem better than it was because of the target audience. Highly recommend and think everyone should read, especially readers that are in the in between with YA and Middle Grade.
