{"product_id":"requiem-9780763647278","title":"Requiem","description":"\u003cb\u003ePaul B. Janeczko’s stirring collection of poems goes inside the walls of the notorious camp to portray the indomitable spirit of those incarcerated there.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHitler hailed Terezín (Theresienstadt) as a haven for artistic Jews, when in reality the Czech concentration camp was little more than a way station to the gas chambers. In his second book inspired by devastating history, acclaimed poet Paul B. Janeczko gives voice to this heartrending creative community: its dignity, resilience, and commitment to art and music in the face of great brutality. The many memorable characters he conjures include a child who performs in the camp’s now famed production of Brundibár, a man who lectures on bedbugs, and a boy known as \"Professor,\" who keeps a notebook hidden in his shoe. Accented with dramatic illustrations by prisoners, found after WW II, Janeczko’s spare and powerful poems convey Terezín’s tragic legacy on an intimate, profoundly moving scale.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62275197632899,"sku":"9780763647278","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780763647278.jpg?v=1785534659","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/requiem-9780763647278","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
