Product Description

Product Description

Atlit is a holding camp for "illegal" immigrants in Israel in 1945. There, about 270 men and women await their future and try to recover from their past. Diamant, with infinite compassion and understanding, tells the stories of the women gathered in this place. Shayndel is a Polish Zionist who fought the Germans with a band of partisans. Leonie is a Parisian beauty. Tedi is Dutch, a strapping blond who wants only to forget. Zorah survived Auschwitz. Haunted by unspeakable memories and too many losses to bear, these young women, along with a stunning cast of supporting characters who work in or pass through Atlit, begin to find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience, as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves and discovering a way to live again.

4.0 out of 5 stars An ode to new beginnings, 13 Sep 2009
By Patricia Adlam "trishtrash" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Day After Night is an engaging, well-written work of historical fiction, looking at the lives and rescue of the Jewish women who were detained as illegal immigrants after attempting to find new homes in Palestine post-WWII. Some were fresh from the death camps of Nazi Europe, others from situations just as dangerous or degrading, yet they found themselves corralled into another prison camp, with more barbed wire and guards - this time British - with freedom tantalisingly close, yet still out of reach.

The losses suffered by these women during the holocaust, and their desire to find a new home, build new lives, sometimes seems to be their only common ground. Diamant wills onto the page four principal, disparate characters in Shayndel, Leonie, Tedi and Zorah, each with their own powerful story; each trying to find a path from the past into the future and though Anita Diamant clearly researched her book thoroughly, this is a much a tale of friendship, life, mourning and joy as it is a lesson in the Jewish post-war resettlement in Israel; both moving and fascinating.

It is difficult to say that I `enjoyed' this book - for one thing, the renewed awareness of the imperfect role of the British when it came to war administration was rather uncomfortable - but it is sad and redeeming and human and brave and makes the reader marvel at how life blossomed from the ashes of places like Auschwitz, how these women struggled out from under the enormity of the loss and fear, anger and shame, and faced what was ahead with hope and dignity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Day after Night, 4 Dec 2009
By A. Talbot "fair copy" (Folkestone U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found the book enlightening, to be honest, as horrified as I was to learn of the holocaust I never gave much thought about the plight of these people after their release...or not as it seems. That they wanted to be left to their own devices after their internment is, of course understandable, and that they would want to try and look for their old haunts and relatives. They should have been set free, as they all so much wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping and poignant for all the right reasons!, 5 Oct 2009
By Ms. N. J. Roberts "Natalie" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is insightful and heartfelt, with beautifully created characters. Haunting in places, this book reflects on life for women after escaping the Holocaust, and shows how their trials and tribulations were nowhere near over, even after reaching the "homeland" of Israel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but ultimately shallow
It's been ten days since I finished reading Day After Night. I couldn't write a review at first because my feelings were so mixed and contrary. Read more
