Synopsis:

Este diario original, sin censurar, de una adolescente judía afincada en la ciudad holandesa de Róterdam arroja una nueva luz sobre la historia de los judíos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Sueños de paz es un diario cuya existencia se desconocía hasta hace muy poco. Refleja la historia de una joven neerlandesa entre los años 1943 y 1945, escondida también, como Ana Frank, y viviendo bajo una amenaza permanente. Un relato que hace sentir al lector en carne propia lo que la protagonista y su familia pasaron día a día, mientras tomaba notas del horror nazi hasta llenar una libreta y seis cuadernos.

El doctor Bart Wallet, profesor en la Universidad Libre de Ámsterdam y especialista en historia judía, subraya el inestimable valor de los escritos de Carry Ulreich, a quien visitó en Israel —donde ella reside en la actualidad— como editor de este testimonio estremecedor.

The book, in which Ulreich documented her family’s battle to survive as the world around them became increasingly dangerous, is among a handful of detailed testimonies of life in hiding in Rotterdam, which unlike most Dutch cities was largely destroyed in massive aerial bombardments both by the Germans and later the Allied forces.

It affords a rare account of the sometimes awkward encounter between the Ulreichs, a Zionistic and traditionalist family from Eastern Europe whose members were proud of their Jewish heritage, and their deeply religious Catholic saviors, the Zijlmans family.
