Holy Week 1943, was special - Monday, April 19 in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. On one side of the wall in the middle of the city, heard the shots, burning buildings, people died, and the other life continued almost unchanged: Warsovians work, meeting with friends, sustained preparation for Christmas. Yes, many people took over the fate of the Jews, nay, there were also those who exhibit at the wall and commented on the situation. And that's what the story Andrzejewski - about the attitudes of Poles towards the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
In the book, I liked the very idea of \u200b\u200bthe fate of a young Jewish girl wplecenie in the liturgy of Holy Week. Her wandering life in Warsaw is a showcase to public sentiment, and these were strongly polarized light - from deep and nieskrywanej grievances against the Jews after the sympathy and solidarity with the fighting in the uprising. Touched me most, however, attitudes of "indirect" and thus, the total inertia or saying forcefully - cowardice. Psychology in general is a strong point of this story - the characters are paper forms, but not very nice, seem very credible. The only thing that offended me was the translation of moral dilemmas - it is cumbersome.
My adventure with the "Big Week" began really to film by Andrzej Wajda. The film made a big impression on me, especially the role of Fudalej Beaty. Until today, my thoughts go back to it around Easter and I'm looking him on TV. Many times I promised myself to get to the literary and finally it happened. Now, after reading the story, I see that the screen adaptation is very faithful, probably the director took into account all the episodes. Interesting text, an interesting (albeit painful) piece of Polish history. These same events are subject Czeslaw Milosz poem "Campo di Fiori" .
********************************
