Benghazi-Bergen-Belsen

written by

Yossi Sucary

One thing I love about being able to review books is being able to read them before they are available to everyone. Of course with this one I was more then a little bit behind on my reading so this review did not make it up before it's debut but this book was a good read. 

This was a book about a different area of the world where I didn't know the Holocaust even touched. So even after years of reading and learning about this frame in time I am still surprised by how much I still have to discover. 

This book takes you through a families life during the times of the Holocaust. Will their British Citizenship save them from harm or will the Nazi's not care? Will they get better care because of it or will they be treated worse? For that you will have to read this for yourself to see how this family if any survive the Holocaust. 

Benghazi-Bergen-Belsen can be found on Amazon.

What the publisher has to say about Benghazi-Bergen-Belsen

An epic romance retrieves from oblivion the lost story of the Holocaust of North African Jews

Silvana Haggiag is a brilliant and beautiful young woman in her early twenties, dismissive of the patriarchal norms that govern her Jewish community in the Libyan city of Benghazi. When Silvana’s family is violently uprooted from its home and homeland, she is taken along with other Libyan Jews through the blazing Sahara Desert and war driven Italy to freezing Germany. In the long and tumultuous journey from her birth town to the German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, Silvana’s, navigating her family through horror and distress, she is confronted with dire dilemmas and retrieves hidden strengths. Away from her language, detached from any familiar ground, she is forced to cope with the terrors of a cruel and arbitrary humanity, and prevail.

A breathtaking novel based on profoundly detailed historical research

Benghazi-Bergen-Belzen, the first novel about the Holocaust of Libyan Jews, brilliantly depicts the transformations and tribulations this intriguing community has undergone during the Second World War. Violently uprooted from their autonomic lifestyle and thrown into a language, culture and geography completely foreign to their own, Libyan Jews, Like other Jews living among Arabic speaking Muslims, were doomed to profound detachment, cut off even from the new ways of life formed among the camps’ prisoners. Placed at the bottom of the Nazi race-hierarchy for their oriental origin, they were incomprehensible to the European eye and perceived as intimidating, even by their fellow European Jewish prisoners. The novel was chosen by the Israeli Ministry of Education to be included in the Holocaust studies program for high school students.

I love Fall and always have. It is my favorite time of year. When I think of fall it's corn mazes, changing leaves, and pumpkin pie that first come to mind. While I wouldn't want a coffee that tasted like corn stalks or an oak leaf, one that captured the essence of pumpkin pie would be divine. I had some Pink Pumpkin that I received a few weeks ago from Brooklyn Bean Roastery so when I got up this morning, I brewed up another cup of this coffee and sat down to check my email.
​

While I waited for Marc to get I up I had time to really enjoy the quiet of the morning and my cup of coffee. It truly is the perfect blend of coffee, pumpkin, and vanilla. The taste of Fall is what I found in my cup! This well balanced coffee had a mild pumpkin flavor with a hint of vanilla. I found the overall taste to be mellow and smooth. I look forward to a season with fragrant spices filling the air as my favorite recipes flavored with pumpkin and vanilla are prepared and now I have this delicious coffee look forward to enjoying, too!
