کتاب راز نوشته فیلیپ گرمبر یکی دیگر ازکتاب های نسبتا بی شماری ایست که به موضوع هولوکاست پرداخته است . آقای گرمبر در این رمان که براساس سرگذشت خانواده خود اوست کوشیده است آثار فاجعه نسل کشی را در خانواده ای یهودی در فرانسه از دیدگاه پسر بچه ای نه چندان معمولی بیان کند .
همانگونه که از اسم کتاب برمی آید قهرمان کتاب در سرتاسر داستان در جستجوی کشف حقیقت ورازی ایست که بر زندگی پدر و مادر والبته خود او سایه انداخته است . گرمبر هم با فلش بک و یا جلو بردن زمان داستان ، کوشیده تلاش برای کشف راز را جذابتر و پر کشش تر کند .
همانند دیگر خانواده های یهودی نجات یافته از نسل کشی ، مانند سوفی کتاب انتخاب سوفی نوشته ویلیام استایرن و یا جناب پریمو لوی در کتاب اگر این نیزانسان است ، گذشته حضوری پر رنگ در زمان حال و البته آینده آنها دارد . آشویتس اگرچه به شکل مستقیم در کتاب نقشی ندارد اما سایه مهیب آن خانواده ای را از هم جدا کرده و سپس آنها را به گونه ای نامتوازن و شکلی دیگر به هم دیگر پیوند زده است .
جدال همیشگی امید و ناامیدی و مرگ و زندگی در سرتاسر داستان ادامه دارد اما در پایان داستان اثرات ویران کننده مرگ در نهایت به انتها می رسد و به نظر می رسد آنچه که باقی و جاری مانده است همان زندگی ایست .

The only reason why I chose this book was practising my French. I knew nothing about either the author or the subject; I thought it was a romance but I was very wrong - it turned out to be a story about the Holocaust. It is an autobiographical novel in which the author, at that time a teenager in the post-war France, discovers a terrible family secret hidden from him. It is sad story about family ties, love, duty, betrayal, love and death in the times of the horrible war.
'No plot summary can quite do justice to this hypnotic, deeply moving novel. This deceptively slender volume can be read in an afternoon, but will haunt the reader for a lifetime. The author, a psychoanalyst, delves deep into the dark abyss of human loss and repression.'
(From a review by Mary Sharratt)

A haunting story of a boy who senses something held back from him from those around him, it is post-war Paris, he is an only child who imagines he has a make-believe brother, and he sees things from his perspective as well as his own, fights with him even.
He notices his mother's silences, his father's sadness. They are athletic, good looking parents, but they have birthed him, a delicate child they must keep from the jaws of death.
Full of fear at school, one day after watching a particularly disturbing documentary, he is overcome by emotion at the insulting comment of a boy in the class and starts a fight, something completely out of character.
The neighbour Louise is the only person he tells the truth about why he got in the fight.
He is surprised at how upset she becomes, not at his behaviour, but something else, something much greater, the burden of which overwhelms her, something she too has known all these years, and believes now she must reveal to him.
He fills in the gaps of the story, imagining the narrative himself, he knows nearly all the characters, except those that have haunted him, but he seems to have known them too. However, he too guards the secret, knowing makes it easier on him, but it can't change his relationship with his family.
Finally, to overcome the final hurdle, he needs to fill in the final gaps, to find out the facts.
The narrator shares the same name as the author, making us wonder if aspects of this story may have come from a family story, it's certainly conceivable.
He notices his mother's silences, his father's sadness. They are athletic, good looking parents, but they have birthed him, a delicate child they must keep from the jaws of death.
I survived, thanks to the care of doctors and the love of my mother. I would like to think my father loved me too - overcoming his disappointment and finding in care, worry and protectiveness enough to stoke his feelings. But his first look left its trace on me, and I regularly glimpsed that flash of bitterness in his eyes.
Full of fear at school, one day after watching a particularly disturbing documentary, he is overcome by emotion at the insulting comment of a boy in the class and starts a fight, something completely out of character.
The incident left me with a patch above one eye that I wore around school with great pride. But the injury brought me much more than ephemeral glory - it was the sign for which Louise had been waiting.
The neighbour Louise is the only person he tells the truth about why he got in the fight.
Louise was always my favourite, even though she wasn't actually part of the family. Perhaps I felt a deeper complicity with her than with my blood relatives. Affectionate as they were, my uncles, aunts and grandparents seemed surrounded by an intangible barrier forbidding questions and warding off confidences. A secret club, bound together by an impossible grief.
He is surprised at how upset she becomes, not at his behaviour, but something else, something much greater, the burden of which overwhelms her, something she too has known all these years, and believes now she must reveal to him.
The day after my fifteenth birthday, I finally learnt what I had always known.
He fills in the gaps of the story, imagining the narrative himself, he knows nearly all the characters, except those that have haunted him, but he seems to have known them too. However, he too guards the secret, knowing makes it easier on him, but it can't change his relationship with his family.
Finally, to overcome the final hurdle, he needs to fill in the final gaps, to find out the facts.
There remained a gap in my story, a chapter whose contents were not known even to my parents. I knew a way to un-stick its pages: I had heard about a place in Paris where I could find the information I was missing.
The narrator shares the same name as the author, making us wonder if aspects of this story may have come from a family story, it's certainly conceivable.

امکان لو رفتن اندکی از داستان!
دیشب بعد از تموم کردن این رمان کوتاه همش توی فکر سیمون بودم 💔 نمیتونم درک کنم چطوری بعضی مادران افسرده فرزندان خودشون رو هم قربانی میکنند! هانا افسرده بود و میخواست دست از زندگی و همه چی بکشه این حال رو درک میکنم ولی چرا باید زندگی سیمون رو هم ازش میگرفت؟! 😔

زندگی نامهی نویسنده کتاب بود که بیشتر به اتفاقات و ماجراهایی که در طی جنگ دوم جهانی بر سر خانوادهی یهودیاش آمده بود، پرداخته است.
روایت داستان تقریبا قابل قبول بود و ارزش یکبار خوندن رو هم داره.

I went to the Holocaust Museum here in Dallas, TX the other day. They had a special exhibit, about the children of the Holocaust. I was fortunate to hear, Mike Jacobs' speak about his experience in the prison camps, he has written a book called, "Holocaust Survivor," that I purchased after hearing him speak. He was a child in the Holocaust, 14 years of age when the Nazis marched into his world. As was said by Brasillach during the war: "Above all, don't forget about the little ones." (pg 150)
A "Memory," is a very small book about a young boy, Philippe Grimbert, who narrates the book, he is living in Paris with his parents who own a sportswear shop. His parents seem quiet, sad and withdrawn, however they both care significantly about their bodies and exercise everyday perhaps to an extreme. Philippe is so lonely he pretends that he has a brother. "As a child, every day provided me with sorrows and fears that I fueled with my solitude. I needed someone with whom to share those tears."
Next door to him lives Louise who is basically a massage therapist.
She tells Philippe that she has known his parents before they were married. She begins to tell Philippe about his parents lives before he was born, and about secrets that no one ever talks about.
I love it when I find a small book that packs so much emotion and reality into so few pages. Not a word is wasted in this book, each word written is on purpose and contains information you need to appreciate this book.
It is amazing the harm we can do as parents, without any intention of doing so, remember we too had parents, and they too had a life before their children and the damage that they endured gets carried again and again through each of us as children, it may be a sadness, an aloneness, fears, anxiety and problems that we don't even realize. Each one of us that comes to terms with our own problems may also need to know the problems of our parents and come to terms with the result of growing up with those parents and their unique issues.
This is an amazingly small book with a large message.

داستان کشدار و ادامه دار یهودیان و جنگ جهانی دوم. اگر می دونستم در این باره اس، قطعا نمی خوندم.کلاً حس خوبی نسبت به این موضوع ندارم و میخواستم نصفه ولش کنم.چون به نظرم پروپاگاندا حول این موضوع خیلی زیاده.
فارغ از این موضوع، خود داستان هم چندان پرکشش نبود. شاید هم حس ناخوشایند از اینکه فهمیدم موضوع کتاب چیه باعث شد خیلی لذت نبرم.
یه موضوع دیگه کتاب صفحه بندی بود. اینکه چرا صفحات کتاب، نصفه نیمه بود برام خیلی عجیب غریب و ناخوشایند بود
شاید 2.5 بیشتر حقش بود. اما پکیج جذابی نبود که رو به بالا گرد کنم.

Plus tard, ces mêmes images en noir et blanc projetteront aux yeux des incrédules les portes de wagons plombés, le brouillard de gares dont on ne revient pas.
Simon et Hannah, effacés à deux reprises : par la haine de leurs persécuteurs et par l'amour de leurs proches.
Un roman court et très beau, très poétique et extrêmement touchant qui traite d'un sujet bouleversant. Il est très dur psychologiquement de se dire que c'est une histoire vraie.
J'ai eu du mal à accrocher parce que le style de la plume est assez particulier et inhabituel.
Le narrateur / personnage principal raconte d'avantage l'histoire de ses parents que la sienne et il se met de côté pour mettre en avant les drames connus par sa famille et pour faire connaître au lecteur un choc comme celui qu'il a lui-même du ressentir en découvrant leur secret.
Dans tous les cas c'était un très beau livre que j'ai beaucoup apprécié.

راز همزمان چند ویژگی دلخواه من در قصهها را داشت: گذشتهای که ذرهذره برملا میشود؛ رمانسی که مخاطراتی سخت پیشرویش است؛ دردی حقیقی و جانکاه بر جان شخصیتها، که عمیقا تأثرانگیز است؛ و نهایتا رسالتی اجتماعی و انسانی که مرزهای سیاسی را درمینوردد و زبانی جهانی مییابد

3,5 étoiles
Dans ce roman bouleversant, Philippe Grimbert raconte comment le secret qui rongeait sa famille a hanté son enfance avant de lui être révélé, le libérant de ses démons. Tout au long du récit, ce secret dévorant et destructeur est présent, créant un climat de malaise chez le lecteur même : on en ignore encore la teneur, mais le narrateur ne cesse de l’évoquer ou d’en révéler quelques bribes, par anticipation, comme s’il ne parvenait à le retenir en lui avant de le narrer tout à fait. Cela a eu pour effet de susciter ma curiosité, me laissant imaginer toutes sortes d’hypothèses et me faisant tourner les pages sans relâche, puis de me surprendre : je ne m’attendais vraiment à un secret si terrible, à une telle souffrance. J’ai donc été profondément émue par cette histoire si poignante, racontée avec simplicité et force, puis bouleversée en comprenant dans l’épilogue que ce n’était pas une fiction et que l’auteur avait vraiment vécu de cette manière le silence de ses parents et de ses proches.
Mon unique regret face à cette lecture concerne le style : fluide, agréable et facile à lire, il manque néanmoins d’un petit quelque chose, d’une particularité ou d’une touche propre à l’auteur.
Je vous le conseille !

A good friend of mine recommended this book, one of her favorite books of all time, to me. She said it could possibly change my life to read it. I don’t know about you, but I am all for reading books that could shake the psychic ground beneath me.
And so I immediately bought it. It is a tiny book, less than 150 pages and the pages are about 6″x4″, the size of large index cards–but oh my, it covers so much psychic and narrative ground in that spare ground! It is full of soul. And it makes me want to go back through all my novel pages and edit out all the lines and scenes without a soul, without a heart.
Because Grimbert shows us what happens when every line sings with heart and depth. This is now one of my favorite novels of all time, too. I am grateful to my friend for showing me this book.

I normally avoid books about World War 2 as they are so sad, but this book intrigued me. It is so powerful, so emotional, and yes, so sad. This is a fictionalized version of true events the author lived with - the knowledge that at one time he had a brother killed in a concentration camp in Germany, a secret his parents never told him but which he discovered anyway. He grew up thinking things that were not true, things hidden from him out of love and protection.
Wow, this book was sad and powerful.

Libro molto breve, letto in un'ora circa.
Scrittura scorrevole aiutata da paragrafi corti, anche se inizialmente faticavo a raccogliere quanto descritto dall'autore.
Narra dell'esperienza personale e familiare dello scrittore, più precisamente nell'ambito della deportazione degli ebrei in Francia durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
Molto toccante e riflessivo.

Povestea are loc intr-o Franta ce tocmai a iesit din razboi, iar secretele familiare sunt mult prea adanci sa fie rostite.
Copilul fragil si bolnavicios, nascut in 1948, intr-o familie sportiva, este atat de complexat de fizicul lui cat si de imposibilitatea de a se ridica la asteptarile parintilor. Simtind ca prezenta lui deranjeaza sau incomodeaza intr-un fel, evita sa isi mai petreaca timpul cu Tatiana si Maxime, preferand compania lui Sim, un animalut de plus gasit in pod si purtand conversatii cu fratele lui imaginar.
Louise, o batrana prietena, se simte datoare sa ii spuna adevarul despre parintii lui. Astfel reuseste sa reconstitute istoria oficiala a familiei sale, dinaintea nasterii sale.
Ajuns la maturitate, decide sa scrie aceasta carte drept mausoleu pentru: Simon si Hannah, fratelui sau vitreg, si celor dragi, fara de mormant, care au suferit si pierit in cel de-al doilea Razboi Mondial.
"De ce s-ar fi dus sa se reculeaga in fata pietrei de mormant pe care era gravat numele mamei lui? Isi purta mortii in el: cei care ii fusesera cei mai dragi nu aveau mormant, numele lor nu era scris pe nici o mamura."
Este o carte mai putin cunoscuta dar pe care o recomand celor pasionati de subiectul celui de-al Razboi Mondial. Mie mi-a placut tare mult.

un très beau livre sur la souffrance d'une famille et les horreurs du régime nazi avec lesquelles elle doit apprendre à vivre après la guerre, ou non.

Extremely moving. Brings back in our life the past that we, as French people, cannot get away from, and which comes back to haunt us, no matter what. History through the lense of a very personal and intimate story always seems more poignant. Grimbert's story, told in simple, effective ways, avoids the fake pathos that would spoil the emotion, and delivers a brutally powerful tale.

زیاد جذاب نبود، قصه ای که نه پیش میره، نه اتفاق خاصی داره و نه لحظات به یادماندنی ای ایجاد میکنه
فرضا که نویسنده حرف خیلی مهمی هم درباره اثر جنگ بر زندگی ها داره
۱۵۰ صفحه هم فرصت داره
ولی هیچی نمیگه
بنابراین به لیست کتابهای ضعیف و داستان های کسل کننده اضافه میشه

A French psychoanalyst and writer creates a fictional but autobiographical account of his family history amidst the horror of the Nazi occupation of France. It is a small pocket size book, sparse but powerful. Written from the prospective of a child as he discovers the devastating affect the war had upon his family. The surviving family members rely on secrets as surely a survival mechanism learned during and after the war trying to heal scars impossible to heal. Is left to their child to sort it all out. Lest we forget...

Ето защо не спах тази нощ.
Онова рядко потъване още от първата страница. Откриване на лична връзка (слава Богу без никаква световна война; има и лични такива). Защо, защо, защо децата се раждат със страхове (не искам психолозите да ми обясняват – заради тайните). Защо до 6-7 г. бях такава пъзла и циврех от всичко. Защо синът ми докъм 8 годишен плачеше насън през нощта. Защо имам брат, а почти нищо не помня от общото ни детство. Защо приятелят на сина ми често му завижда, че „няма брат, който да му пречи и взема всичко“. Толкова въпроси само заради първата страница. Добре че още не знаех за „после“. А после е един момент след 1939 г., която бихме искали да си е останала и да не е преминала нататък.
„Истински брат. Сходен на теб човек, в чието лице разпознаваш себе си по общи белези като непокорен кичур или кучешки зъб, с когото делиш една стая и чиято най-интимна същност, настроения, вкусове, слабости, миризми познаваш.“
„Единствен обект на любовта и нежните грижи на родителите си, аз въпреки това спях зле, измъчван от лоши ��ънища. Разплаквах се още с угасването на лампата, не знаех за кого са тези сълзи, които се процеждаха през възглавницата ми и се губеха в нощта.“
Ако мислите, че сте чели достатъчно за Войната и Холокоста, вижте и тази книга. Помислете за всеки един от героите. Разбира се най-много за децата. Евреи – идентичност – детство – любов (спасителна и разрушителна): колко много книги има за всичко това. Ето още една, не в обичайния тежък сърцераздирателен стил, просто разказ „да се знае“.
„Как да забравим децата, тези сенки без гробове, струйки дим в ��ебето над враждебната земя?“

j'attend de l'avoir analysé en classe :)
c'est fait
2,5⭐︎
Ce livre est intéressant et historique. Affreusement triste et poétique. Mais bien trop long pour ce qu'il y a dire. C'est ce que j'ai pensé en ayant fini de le lire mais mon avis a évolué. Il n'est pas si long et j'estime que ces longueurs sont peut-être nécessaire au développement du livre. Cela ne reste pas moins un livre trop triste, trop sombre pour moi. Le réalisme me blesse trop que pour que j'aie la force de lire des horreurs réels. Le réalisme fait peur et si c'est un peu lâche de ma part mais le fantastique a le dont de m'émerveiller à contrario du réalisme qui a le dont de me briser le coeur, de la plus mauvaise des façons. Le personnage principal est étrange du début à la fin et j'ai eu du mal, beaucoup de mal à le comprendre. Je ne suis pas habituée aux pensées noires d'un homme qui a souffert de mensonge et de solitude dans sa jeunesse. L'autobiographie fait mal dans le sens ou l'on sait très bien que c'est la vérité. Et désolé mais la douleur n'est pas une vertu. Pas à mes yeux. Donc ce livre est sympa pour ceux qui aiment vraiment ce genre là, les autres, ça ne sert pas à grand chose à par à vous mettre mal à l'aise et à vous donner envie de gerber (de dégout pour les horribles faits de l'histoire).
c'est fait

Ce livre est intéressant et historique. Affreusement triste et poétique. Mais bien trop long pour ce qu'il y a dire. C'est ce que j'ai pensé en ayant fini de le lire mais mon avis a évolué. Il n'est pas si long et j'estime que ces longueurs sont peut-être nécessaire au développement du livre. Cela ne reste pas moins un livre trop triste, trop sombre pour moi. Le réalisme me blesse trop que pour que j'aie la force de lire des horreurs réels.
