Rember me
Amid the shadows of war, one family faces an impossible choice that will change their lives forever.
Remember me
Madrid, 1934. Though the Spanish Civil War has not yet begun, the streets of Madrid have become dangerous for thirteen-year-old Marco Alcalde and his younger sisters, Isabel and Ana. When Marco’s parents align themselves against General Franco and his fascist regime, they have no inkling that their ideals will endanger them and everyone they love—nor do they predict the violence that is to come.
When the Mexican government promises protection to the imperiled children of Spain, the Alcaldes do what they believe is best: send their children, unaccompanied, across the ocean to the city of Morelia—a place they’ve never seen or imagined. Marco promises to look after his sisters in Mexico until their family can be reunited in Spain, but what ensues is a harrowing journey and a series of heartbreaking events. As the growing children work to care for themselves and each other, they feel their sense of home, family, and identity slipping further and further away. And as their memories of Spain fade and the news from abroad grows more grim, they begin to wonder if they will ever see their parents again or the glittering streets of the home they once loved.
Based upon the true stories of the Children of Morelia, Mario Escobar’s Remember Me—now available for the first time in English—explores the agony of war and paints a poignant portrait of one family’s sacrificial love and endurance.

La bibliotecaria de Saint-Malo
El autor super ventas Mario Escobar (Madrid) regresa con una apasionante y hermosa novela sobre las cartas que se intercambian la bibliotecaria Jocelyn Ferrec y el autor Marcel Zola, aquellas que narran la historia de amor de Jocelyn y Antoine Ferrec.
Después del armisticio del 22 de junio de 1940, los Nazis ocupan el pueblo de Saint-Malo, Francia, y construyen su famosa fortificación para controlar el norte bretón. Sus habitantes intentan resistirse a los nuevos ocupantes: sus ancestros fueron, después de todo, corsarios audaces, pero sus intentos resultan inútiles ante el implacable coronel Andreas von Aulock, quien detiene toda insurrección. El coronel alemán ordena a quemar biblioteca tras biblioteca en la ciudad para eliminar todo escrito subversivo siguiendo las directrices de la lista de Otto.

Auschwitz Lullaby
Based on the true story of a brave German nurse tasked with caring for Auschwitz’s youngest prisoners.
“Auschwitz Lullaby grabbed my heart and drew me in. A great choice for readers of historical fiction.” —Irma Joubert, author of The Girl from the Train
Auschwitz Lullaby brings to life the story of Helene Hannemann—a woman who sacrificed everything for family and fought furiously for the children she hoped to save.
On an otherwise ordinary morning in 1943, Helene Hannemann is preparing her five children for the day when the German police arrive at her home. Helene’s worst fears come true when the police, under strict orders from the SS, demand that her children and husband, all of Romani heritage, be taken into custody. Though Helene is German and safe from the forces invading her home, she refuses to leave her family—sealing her fate in a way she never could have imagined.
After a terrifying trek across the continent, Helene and her family arrive at Auschwitz and are thrown into the chaos of the camp. Her husband, Johann, is separated from them, but Helene remains fiercely protective of her children and those around her. When the powers-that-be discover that Helene is not only a German but also a trained nurse, she is forced into service at the camp hospital, which is overseen by the notorious Dr. Mengele himself.
Helene is under no illusions in terms of Dr. Mengele’s intentions, but she agrees to cooperate when he asks her to organize a day care and school for the Romani children in the camp. Though physically and emotionally brutalized by the conditions at Auschwitz, Helene musters the strength to protect the children in her care at any cost. Through sheer force of will, Helene provides a haven for the children of Auschwitz—an act of kindness and selflessness so great that it illuminates the darkest night of human history.
Based on a true story, Mario Escobar’s Auschwitz Lullaby demonstrates the power of sacrifice and the strength of human dignity—even when all hope seems lost.

Auschwitz Lullaby
Acerca del libro
Auschwitz Lullaby revive la historia de Helene Hannemann, una mujer que sacrificó todo por la familia y luchó furiosamente por los hijos que esperaba salvar.
En una mañana por lo demás ordinaria en 1943, Helene Hannemann está preparando a sus cinco hijos para el día en que la policía alemana llegue a su casa. Los peores temores de Helene se hacen realidad cuando la policía, bajo estrictas órdenes de las SS, exige que sus hijos y su esposo, todos de ascendencia romaní, sean detenidos. A pesar de que Helene es alemana y está a salvo de las fuerzas que invaden su hogar, se niega a dejar a su familia, sellando su destino de una manera que nunca podría haber imaginado.
Después de un aterrador viaje por el continente, Helene y su familia llegan a Auschwitz y son arrojados al caos del campamento. Su esposo, Johann, está separado de ellos, pero Helene sigue siendo ferozmente protectora de sus hijos y de quienes la rodean. Cuando los futuros poderes descubren que Helene no es solo una alemana sino también una enfermera entrenada, la obligan a trabajar en el hospital de campaña, supervisado por el famoso Dr. Mengele.
Helene no se hace ilusiones en cuanto a las intenciones del Dr. Mengele, pero acepta cooperar cuando le pide que organice una guardería y una escuela para los niños romaníes en el campamento. Aunque física y emocionalmente brutalizado por las condiciones en Auschwitz, Helene reúne la fuerza para proteger a los niños bajo su cuidado a cualquier costo. A través de pura fuerza de voluntad, Helene ofrece un refugio para los niños de Auschwitz, un acto de bondad y desinterés tan grande que ilumina la noche más oscura de la historia humana.
Basado en una historia real, Auschwitz Lullaby de Mario Escobar demuestra el poder del sacrificio y la fuerza de la dignidad humana, incluso cuando toda esperanza parece perdida.
