About the Book

Escape de los Balcanes Muchos años después de la tragedia del holocausto en los Balcanes un video y un mail disparan una serie de preguntas, casualidades y coincidencias. Esto genera en Dinah la necesidad de conocer más sobre la historia de su familia. Las dos mujeres conversan. Los recuerdos de aquellos años de incertidumbres y miedo surgen como un torrente. Una menciona truenos en la noche y la otra le dice que eran disparos de metralleta. Hablan de aquella vaca en el jardín, del peso de las monedas cosidas en la ropa interior y del frío húmedo de las montañas que debieron atravesar para escapar. Alguien filma esta conversación. Dinah no quiere perderse ni una palabra, ni una frase. Quiere saber, conocer qué pasó, no quiere que las generaciones posteriores se olviden de esta historia. Empieza a entender tantas cosas, a unir recuerdos que parecían confusos, a oler las recetas de la abuela, su silenciosa forma de recordar sin palabras y abrazar con fuerza. Poco tiempo después del registro de ese video, Dinah recibe un mail. No conoce a la persona que lo manda del otro lado del océano, pero apenas ve el título sabe, con una certeza extraña, que ya no puede dejar de buscar, de averiguar y de conocer a fondo toda la historia de su familia. El camino que empezará a recorrer es lo que cuenta este libro. ....................................................................................................................................................... Esta historia tiene varios elementos que confluyen y se combinan como en una receta bien hecha: los olores y sabores de la infancia, el azar que dispara sucesos que no pueden ser casuales, el deseo de saber de dónde venimos y los silencios de historias que no se cuentan porque genera mucho dolor. Pero que en cierto momento deben salir a la luz. La historia se desarrolla a dos niveles: Dinah emprende un viaje de descubrimiento por la zona en la que más de setenta años atrás su familia tuvo que escaparse para sobrevivir. Macedonia, Kosovo y Albania son algunos de los escenarios de su peripecia. En paralelo la trama cuenta las vivencias de la familia Konforti entre 1940 y 1944. Cuando empiezan las persecuciones a los judíos y con lucidez se dan cuenta de que deben escaparse, empieza su periplo por una zona devastada. Años tratando de prever lo que va a suceder, de adivinar cuál es el próximo paso a dar, de escapar a deportaciones y denuncias. Ellos deben irse siempre, a un lugar cada vez más inaccesible. También es la historia de personas que arriesgaron la vida y a su propia familia por ayudarlos y luchar contra esa injusticia, con una solidaridad que no depende de la religión ni la nacionalidad. Como telón de fondo, una tierra asolada tantas veces, (la zona de los Balcanes), es el escenario en el que viven, sufren, se esconden y se ayudan los personajes que recorren esta novela. De una Skopje (capital de la antigua Yugoslavia) bombardeada, a un pueblo en la zona de Kosovo, luego en la Albania bajo protectorado italiano, la invasión alemana y por último una increíble peripecia a través de montañas y bosques que fueron el campo de batalla entre partisanos comunistas y nazis derrotados pero no por eso menos peligrosos. Una historia real, recreada con la intensidad de una novela.
