| Description: |
Wojdowski relates this story in a complex mixture of standard Polish, slang, thieves' argot, Yiddish and Hebrew. This English translation includes a foreword by Henryk Grynberg, also a Holocaust survivor. |
| Synopsis: |
Bread for the Departed details the experience of the Jewish community in Warsaw between 1940 and 1942; the final chapters take place during the mass deportation of Warsaw's Jewish community to death camps. Episodic, chaotic as the teeming ghetto itself, the novel records the inexorable breakdown of morals and loyalties that accompanied the physical deterioration of the ghetto population. |
