The Dawn of Hope: A Memoir of Ravensbruck
The Dawn of Hope A Memoir of Ravensbruck Author:Genevieve De Gaulle Anthonioz, Richard Seaver (Translator) "Dreamless nights, profound as black water, pierced by the siren's wail. Do you know, my comrades, that I am with you, close beside you? I feel your bone-weariness, I see through your eyes the pearly dawn that lightens the sky above the horizon of the Baltic. There is no other life to dream of than yours, than ours. Beyond lies the unat... more »tainable. Limit your dream to still being alive, to sharing the tainted drinking water, the hard, gray bread... and, above all, limit your dream to the comfort of a handshake, the tenderness of a loving look. When the dread hour comes to awaken to a new day, listen to Jacqueline as she breaks into song: "Awake, O sleeping hearts, the Lord is calling you...' The memory of her clear soprano voice makes me sing in turn, and tempts me to pray, here in my desrt, here in my night."« less
