Tuszyńska Agatha is one of the best Polish biographers. She is interested in Jewish themes, the roots of Jewish writers and preserving memory. This time, reaches for a biography of the Jewish singer of the ghetto - Wiera Gran. Women, who from day to day with poorer small town girl becomes a star of prewar Warsaw.
first friendships, love and war comes suddenly and Vera returns to his family, unable to flee, he begins to work in a cafe 'Art 'in the ghetto. In love with her man takes it out of this hell, but after the war begin to live in a hell, hell accusations.
"You're alive?". So neighbors greeted those who survived, have been debating how they have succeeded. It was inconceivable how come someone managed to get out of the ghetto. Certainly not legal ways, one can not leave the ghetto without giving bribes. Therefore tried a number of ways to explain her survival. Bribes, collaboration, betrayal ...
wants to return to work, goes to the radio and there pianist, with whom she played in the ghetto - Wladyslaw Szpilman speaks her that unfortunately can not accept it because I had heard rumors about her collaboration. He advises her that she should go to the security office, so it does. It begins with a court case. I ne not really matter that the heroine will be cleared of the allegations, because the patches' kolaborantki "can not be detached.
Usually this novel comments in the context of accusations by the heroine Spielman - completely wrong. Sam says Tuszyńska about his novel, that indeed Szpilman played in the life of her heroine's role, is a kind of szwarccharakterem, but she did not write siążki about him and hopes that readers will not read it only to capture flavors of Szpilman. "Accused: Vera Gran" from the beginning was over-inflated in the direction of Szpilman. He is one of the characters, really about anything it does not accuse, even testifying in its favor, but it is between them now and again a mystery, about which the truth will never know.
greatest advantage of the book Tuszyńska is great room for interpretation, which leaves the reader. Asks questions, and maybe it was, maybe it was different. Seeks to fill gaps in its history, such as the problem of the absence of Vera in the book Szpilman, but on the other hand consider the reasons for its boahterki in an ambiguous way and in no way evaluative.
author shows two Vera - a singer whose life, once so intense crumbles into tiny little pieces and the other - the old woman haunted by nightmares of that past. This is not a book that reads easily, the disease gets sentimental heroine and overwhelmed at the same time. And yet it is a perfect picture of memory, remembering and forgetting. Creation and projection of his own people hunted mind. Facts and insinuations. Important voice in the debate about memory. And its victims.
