It should have started so idyllically. The first dance, the first confession, the first kiss... Sixteen-year-old Rút was to experience all this. But it shouldn't be 1941 and she shouldn't have a yellow star shining on her chest. Instead of the satin shoes for the first ball that her father promised her, Rút only has hard clogs and a death march waiting for her. The incredibly suggestive story of two young people, Ervín and Rút, is based on real events.
An exceptional book about hope that can bear comparison with the works of Arnošt Lustig or Jan Otčenášek.
