Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This author writes an observational dark humor travel book about a guided group bus tour of concentration camps in Poland. This irreverent account poignantly explores how the author grapples with the horrors and atrocities of the Holocaust. If you thought you had read and seen all the films depicting this subject, this author's approach focuses on his own reactions that lends a fresh approach. It's not the facts but the experience of facing and standing where the horrors occurred. I recommend this book for understanding the human condition.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. If you have a dark sense of humor and can tolerate learning that someone is making money off the Holocaust, then this book is for you. Jerry Stall goes on a bus tour that visits sites of the Holocaust and just basks in the environment that this bus tour can create. This book is an eye-opener for sure.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I had no idea tours through the concentration camps existed. I was curious as to just who would select to visit such a place. We get to find out. Jerry Stahl's humor gets us through one of history's worst chapters. Jerry and his bus mates visit the scenes of atrocities committed by the Nazis and now displayed with snack bars and souvenirs like a theme park. Jerry's dark humor is necessary to keep us from being overwhelmed as the tour guides point out details. But the author also honors the seriousness of the hell those residents of the camps were subjected to. Sometimes Jerry's references are a bit obscure, but always right on the mark. We also learn a lot about the author. His writing style is perfect for this book. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was a deeply funny look at Holocaust memory and the commercialization of the Holocaust. The idea of a package tour of Holocaust sites is deeply weird to me, and I think Stahl as well, but at the same time totally understandable. His descriptions of the folks on the tour with him are very funny and ring true. His encounter with neo-Nazis in Poland is disturbing, as well as the guy in the camp who clearly doesn't believe any of it actually happened. Not a book to read if you are easily offended by humor amidst such a dark subject. People are weird, and Stahl knows it, even about himself. He also gets that the Holocaust was perpetuated by people and some of the same beliefs that motivated them remain in place today. Recommended.

This book was overall amazing, i like the humorous approach to the holocaust that Jerry Stahl used, however sometimes i found it was over the top, overall i find that this is a great book to read for someone who is interested in learning more regarding the holocaust, however as someone who dosen't have too much interest in those topics i found it a-bit more outside my reading comfort zone aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
In September 2016, Jerry Stahl was feeling nervous on the eve of a two-week trip across Poland and Germany. But it was not just the stops at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau that gave him anxiety. It was the fact that he would be traveling with two dozen strangers, by bus. In a tour group. And he was not a tour-group kind of guy. The decision to visit Holocaust-world did not come easy. Stahl's lifelong depression at an all-time high, his career and personal life at an all-time low, he had the idea to go on a trip where the despair he was feeling -- out-of-control sadness, regret, and fear, not just for himself, but for the entire United States -- would be appropriate. And where was despair more appropriate than the land of the Six Million? Seamlessly weaving global and personal history, through the lens of Stahl's own bent perspective, Nein, Nein, Nein! stands out as a triumph of strange-o reporting, a tale that takes us from gang polkas to tour-rash to the truly disturbing snack bar at Auschwitz. Strap in for a raw, surreal, and redemptively hilarious trip. Get on the bus. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
