In 1948, when I was a very young child, Israel was granted statehood. I remember the joy and the celebration among my family and community.

I remember the joy and the celebration among my family and community. Certainly much has been written about the Holocaust, about the efforts of traumatized Jews to reach Israel and the turmoil that has occurred since it became a recognized country (by some, not all). In this novel, many events have been either omitted or lacked much attention. Diamant has written an account of an internment camp for "illegals" in Israel in 1945, following WW II. This story is apparently gleaned from true events.

The story is told through the eyes of four young women who are imprisoned there. Each recounts her experience through the war. This camp, Atilit, was dreary, barren and depressing, completely enclosed by barbed wire. Can you imagine surviving the horrors and barbarism of a concentration camp, or spent in hiding with constant fears for safety, only to be caged again with armed guards surrounding you? To add further insult, the travel to Israel was grueling, miserable, difficult and protracted. The only redeeming factors of the camp were real beds, a semblance of clothing, food and the comfort of human relationships.

I had looked forward to reading this book because I had enjoyed Diamant's The Red Tent and I have an avid interest in a literature of this period of history. However, much of this novel seemed superficial and did not stress many of the true painful and intense events that the characters endured. In some instances there were mere suggestions of occurrences and hardships. No mention was made of the difficult trials in travel to "The Promised Land". It was also difficult throughout this recounting to keep the characters straight, due to the style of shifting from one to another and trying to recall all of the foreign sounding names. More input regarding historical events surrounding this time would have added a greater dimension to the book.

Despite the aforementioned criticisms, Diamant capably developed most of her characters. A thread of tension was present throughout, especially for the hope and expectation that these people would finally gain their freedom. The denouement was a further element of suspense for the reader, although I felt that the climax was rather hasty.(less)

I suppose since this novel was compared to Diamant's bestselling 'THE RED TENT', which to this very day remains my favourite book of all time, I might have unknowningly set myself up for disappointment. This story was not at all what I expected, nor did I feel Diamant's writing was on par with THE RED TENT. However, having said that, I did enjoy it for the most part, but felt it just went on and on and on a little too much. It was like she was stalling for time so she could figure out where and...more

This is Diamant's second book that I've read. I enjoyed The Red Tent, and also this one. The Red Tent had a broader sense of place and history, and I think better language and character. Then again, having just finished this one, I may appreciate it more as I reflect on it. I think the strength of this novel lies in the concise and honest portrayal of the characters in how they mask and express their experiences. I got the sense that had she revealed more about the character's backstory (and rea...more

At first sad, but ultimately hopeful. Life does go on, whether we want it to or not. We must join with others in making it meaningful, even after great loss.

We think a lot about the many millions who died in the Holocaust, perhaps less often about those who were left standing. They were told they were "lucky" to be alive. But how do you find joy again, or even the desire for joy, after you've lost every person and thing you loved? When you've witnessed and been subjected to incomprehensible atr...more

When pondering the horrors of the Holocaust, it is not often that one considers what occurred after the Germans lost the war. I may envision families reuniting, people starting over, or at the least relief over sudden freedom. In truth however, many Jewish citizens became "illegal" immigrants and were imprisoned in internment camps run by the British military.
Much like a concentration camp, Atlit prison was surrounded by barbed wire fences. This vision alone was enough to remind many prisoners o...more

This is Anita Diamant’s third novel. I had read “The Red Tent” many years ago. I read “Good Harbor” recently and also attempted “The Lost Days of Dogtown” (but just couldn’t get into it). Based on all of that, I believe this is her 2nd best fictional book.

Diamant is clearly well-versed in Jewish history and the book feels capably researched and personal. It opened my eyes to the ongoing suffering of European and Middle-eastern Jews after the war but, as a story, I wanted more....more

Day After Night is a quick read but sets forth a wide range of interesting characters and can be viewed from many angles.

The novel takes place in 1945 among Shoah survivors who made it to Israel but were caught by the British and put in a detainee camp. Its timing is on the cusp of change, just before all hell broke loose in Israel. There is no Irgun carrying out terror attacks yet, or massacres between Arabs and Jews, but you can see all that developing.

In terms of plot and structure, it's quite multi-faceted because it introduces four main characters and a number of others. The characters come across as types more than as fully rounded people (the determined cynic with the secret heart of gold, and so forth), but they are sympathetic and interesting. All the people whose heads we get into are women. Oddly, just about the only man who isn't sexist and self-interested is the British commander of the camp.

A key aspect of the novel, and a point made by the author, is that everyone who survived the Shoah has shame and guilt to hide. Thus, numerous flashbacks throughout the book bring these stories and the stages of fear, anger, grief, searching for comfort and so forth that the characters travel through. For the sake of the plot there is also a thrill around a secret plan and the various things that threaten it. After the resolution of this tension, the book stumbles toward an end. At first I was disappointed, but I realized it was a reflection of real life and a natural ending.

The sociology of the book is what I found most interesting. First, the characters are caught between two continents: the "poisoned graveyard" (as Diamant describes Europe) and the new land with all its potential. Second, they are caught, like Israel itself, between the religion of their ancestors and a tendency toward secularism that is derived both from their European education and their anger toward the God that permitted the Shoah. The old faith refuses to dissipate even in a place dominated by a relentless survival pragmatism. In the detainee camp, the Socialists and Communists demonstrate their defiance of religion by holding separate Yom Kippur services.

It's also interesting that the precipitating crisis in this tense situation is caused not by the British treatment of European Shoah survivors but by their treatment of some refugees from Iraq, an early precursor of the waves of Jews from Arab lands who flooded in years later. This irony (apparently a piece of true history woven into the book) illustrates the many angles shown in the novel.(less)

I was also intrigued with the idea that the Jews were not treated well even after all they had been through, though it makes sense given how they have been treated throughout history. Still, you would think people would be more sympathetic. Anyway, the book made me want to read real stories from survivors. As far as...more

Not the best, enjoyable, and a different book than I expected, it was more a novel about relationships with some holocaust experiences thrown in rather than information and stories about post WWII Jewish experience in Palestine.

One such incident was the escape in 1945 of 200 refugee immigrants in a British illegals displacement camp in Israel with the help of Jewish settler partisans. The escape happens towards the end of the story, but the escape is not really what the book is about. It is about four young Jewish women, none older than 21, who have all been displaced by the war in Europe. Polish-born Shayndel was orphaned during the war and ended up fighting with partisans; Dutch-born Tedi is half-Jewish and spends most of the war in hiding until she is betrayed and sent off to a camp; Leonie is Parisian who is saved by brothel keeper, and has a miserable time trying to stay alive as a prostitute; and finally Zorah, also Polish who manages to survive the horrors of the concentration camp. All very damaged emotionally and physically, they find themselves in Israel as there is really nowhere else for them to go and they are promised that Israel will finally be the home they are looking for.

The girls are just four of the couple of hundred men, women and children in the camp where they have to learn to live a normal life again, to trust people and build relationships and friendships. There are nightmares to get through, symbols such as the barbed wire of the camps reminding the internees of the concentration camps, physical health to rebuild.

The establishment of the state of Israel by the British and the United Nations forms the background to the story, the displacement of the Palestinians barely rates a mention, and the British come across as the enemy with the exception of a few of the the British running the immigrant camp.

So is it a good book? Well, good plot, interesting characters, plenty of action and tension, but something is missing. I felt like I was reading a narrative: he said, then she said, then she said. It just felt a bit too one dimensional. The richness of writing that made 'The Red Tent' so special and memorable, for me, just is not there. Maybe it is not supposed to be there, the subject matter of internment camps and the tragedies of the people who find themselves there perhaps do not lend themselves to rich, beautiful writing. Still it is book worth reading simply for the history it chronicles. (less)

The scene is an internment camp, Atlit, where thousands of Jews were held captive by the British military after WWII. While the primary focus is on four extraordinary and different (from each other) young women (Tedi, Leonie, Zorah, and Shayndel), other characters enter their lives and play significant roles. For example, Tirzah is the camp cook and is privy to much useful information because of her relationship with the camp commander.

Every single person in the camp has a unique past and a special dream for the future, and I was both fascinated and impressed as I learned more about this time in history and what these young women and others like them had to suffer. Although quite young, they had already lost family and friends and were determined to make better lives for themselves IF they could only get out of Atlit. While life in Atlit is safe (especially compared to the lives these women had lived before arriving there), it's still an internment camp, and they can't go anywhere. They're trapped as prisoners behind barbed wire.

Much of the novel centers around a plan to escape from Atlit, an event that actually took place. In fact, one of the reasons I found myself drawn to the book is because of the historical fiction aspect. Atlit really existed, and Yitzhak Rabin helped around 200 detainees escape in October of 1945. Whether their names were Zorah or Tedi doesn't matter. The escapees were probably quite similar. Just like the characters in The Red Tent, these people seem real, and Diamant's characterizations made the events come alive for me. Because of the book, I became so interested in this time and place that I did a little background reading and learned that Atlit still exists as a museum; the pictures were haunting.

The title is perfect. After a long night (symbolically speaking) of suffering, loss, grief, and heartache, day follows as the detainees escape to begin their new lives

In Sarah's Key, I read what happened at the Vélodrome d'Hiver in France, in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Random House Reader's Circle), I discovered what happened during the war on an island I'd never heard of, in Skeletons at the Feast: A Novel, I accompanied a family fleeing westward ahead of the advancing Russians, in Those Who Save Us, I read what desperate men and women did in occupied Germany. This novel is another wonderful testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of unspeakable guilt -- the guilt of being a survivor of the ravages of the Nazis and the Final Solution.

This story takes place in Atlit -- the internment camp south of Hafia, Israel, after the war is over when thousands of Jews escaped Europe for their promised land, only to be imprisoned and held by the British military instead of being allowed to join the kibbutzes established there. Four remarkable young women from different backgrounds meet there and attempt to adjust to life and to deal with the consequences of what they did to survive the fates that claimed the lives of their friends and families.

I loved the women -- Shayndel, a Polish Zionist with a heroine's reputation; Zorah, the concentration camp survivor who hides the tattoo on her arm; Tedi, a Dutch girl who escaped most of the ravages of war by being hidden; and Leonie, from France, who avoided the roundup due to her looks and her wartime occupation. The experiences that the girls had during the war are revealed in vignettes as we get to know each one and her secrets very slowly as they suffer a day to day existence in the camp. The jobs they do, the contacts they have, and the relationships that manage to thrive despite the collective horror are heartwarming and inspiring. Both realistic and desperately hopeful, the girls do whatever they can to find some explanation or reason why they did not perish.

Anita Diamant is a superb writer whose prose rings true in every sense. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. (ARC)
