A propos de l'auteur
Ida Fink was born January 11, 1921, in Zbaraz, Poland, now part of Ukraine. She attended the High School of Music in Lwow, Poland, from 1938-41 but was forced to live in hiding through much of World War II. She emmigrated to Israel in 1957 and began her work at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial afficher plus and museum, recording the memories and experiences of other Jewish survivors. Fink worked as a librarian from 1972-82. Fink delayed her writing for more than 10 years after the Holocaust in order to achieve the emotional distance that would allow her to write in the proper voice. She recounts the genocide of her people in A Scrap of Time and Other Stories (1987), a semiautobiographical collection consisting of 22 stories and a short play first published in Hebrew translation as Pisat zman, Massada (1975). Other titles include Stot, a one-act play that was produced for Israeli radio in 1970 and German television in Germany in 1981; Slady, a radio play, in 1986; and Podroz, a novel, in 1990. She received the Anne Frank Prize for Literature in 1985, and Prix Litteraire Wizo, 1990, both for A Scrap of Time. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

- Ida Fink. née Landau, was born to a Jewish family in Zbaraż, Poland (present-day Zbarazh, Ukraine). Her father Ludwig Landau was a physician and her mother Fannie Stein was a teacher. The family was cultured and spoke both Polish and German at home. Ida studied music at the Lwów (Lviv) Conservatory before the Nazi Occupation of her homeland in World War II. She spent 1941-1942 confined in the Zbaraż ghetto, before escaping with her younger sister Elsa with the help of false identification papers. In 1948, she married Bruno (Bronek) Fink, a survivor of four concentration camps, with whom she had a daughter. For a number of years, they lived in Poland, but moved to Israel in 1957. Ida worked as a music librarian and began writing stories about her experiences. Her first collection, A Scrap of Time and Other Stories, was published in Polish in 1983, followed in 1989 by the English translation. Her novel The Journey (1990) appeared in English translation in 1992, and a film adaptation was produced for German television in 2002. Her book Traces, containing stories and short plays, was published in 1997. Her writing has garnered many international awards.
A 2007 documentary about her life, entitled The Garden that Floated Away after one of her stories, was produced by Israeli filmmaker Ruth Walk.
