Rate this book
AUNQUE SAM RAKOWSKI prometió nunca regresar a Polonia tras sobrevivir al Holocausto, se embarca junto a su prima Judy en un viaje de vuelta a sus raíces. Ambos formarán la dupla de detectives más improbable para revelar al mundo una fatal conspiración entre Polonia y Alemania durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los primeros encuentros con los viejos conocidos de Sam son incómodos. Nadie se atreve a hablar de lo sucedido una noche de 1944, cuando varios Rakowski fueron torturados en una granja de Polonia. Pronto, dos situaciones se vuelven quienes los asesinaron no fueron los alemanes; y alguien sobrevivió a esa masacre, pero su paradero es desconocido. La investigación de El pacto secreto deja en evidencia aquello que Polonia ha intentado desacreditar una y otra la resistencia polaca colaboró con el régimen nazi para prolongar los horrores del Holocausto, asesinando a judíos de su propia comunidad. «Judy Rakowsky ha escrito un libro conmovedor e impactante que se lee como un thriller».

About the author

Judy Rakowsky

6 books26 followers
Judy Rakowsky has spent decades knocking on strangers' doors and making cold calls as a journalist, trying to answer the age old question of crime reporting: how could they? As a reporter and editor, she spent three decades in an award-winning career that took her to five metropolitan dailies including the Boston Globe, the Providence Journal as well as People Magazine. For vacation, she journeyed repeatedly to the native land of cousin Sam, who survived four Nazi camps and a death march, on a quest to find a living survivor. She learned from his optimism and resilience and they discovered truths about the fate of relatives that the Polish government has made illegal to tell.
When she's not on deadline, she would prefer to be in or under water (swimming or Scuba diving) or protecting precious blooms from ravenous bunnies in her garden.
