Trek is a poignant memoir of one American woman's struggle in Germany during World War II. Separated from her German husband, Mary Hunt Jentsch was forced to protect her two children, surviving nightly air raids, rooftop fires, hunger, and the invading Red Army. Including a foreword by Jentsch's grandson, this moving account is an invaluable testament to the difficulties of wartime. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

What I had a hard time with was the absence of any mention of Jews and their fate. I find it hard to believe that she and everyone she met were completely ignorant of the situation and that none of them were guilty of anti-semitism or even of belonging to the Nazi party or supporting Hitler. I find it incredible, especially given her contact with POWs and forced laborers, whose existance she depicts as normal and rather jolly. Furthermore, she almost never mentions her husband, his decision to work for the Reich and his subsequent stint with the Germany army on the Eastern Front, even though they lived together until 1943 and remained in contact thereafter. It seems impossible to believe that he was not a Nazi. How could she as an intelligent, well-educated American follow him to Nazi Germany? It is a mystery, and one that made it impossible for me to sympathize with her and her plight. ( )
