Great hope. Aichinger I.

“Great Hope”, one of the best books about the horrors of Nazi terror, where faith and fear, hope and pain of children with “wrong grandparents”, who are considered “Nuremberg laws”, are considered semi -Jews.

Ellen is from such half -breeds: she lives in Vienna with her grandmother and dreams of a visa to America to leave humiliation, ridicule, total surveillance and a city behind the ocean, where she can’t even buy a cake. Together with friends, she constantly plays in her cherished dream - in salvation and with all her might hopes that a fatal call will not be heard in their apartment.
