The Angel Of Poetry
When Brigitte Ringer (Nenner) was thrown into the hell of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in 1943, she knew that if she survived, she would write in poetry to tell of the horrors of the Holocaust.
The Angel Of Poetry: A Poetic Perspective On Living Through The Holocaust is a unique book that tells an unusual story about a young girl's connection to a special Angel, The Angel of Poetry. Brigitte tells how this Angel first came to her as a child and has influenced her to be able to write about the horrors and hellish realities of the Holocaust, even to this day.
In a separate section in poetic form, Brigitte writes about her eyewitness account of Kristallnacht in 1938. She writes about her capture...about surviving...about a survivor's life after the concentration camp.
Brigitte's poetry provides a way to feel the hell of the Holocaust, from a survivor's position. Told in a simple, yet straightforward way, the reader will feel the pain that the writer inherited by being a Jew in Europe in WWII. Although this book is written in English, Brigitte's early poetry is preserved in this edition in its original German.
When the reader closes this book, a new
understanding of the
Holocaust will open.
