內容簡介 世界上最黑的地方，便有最亮的光走出奧斯威辛的悲傷，用圖文說世紀的闇與光2015年，作者麥可‧法蘭克在普立摩勒維中心的講座上遇見九十二歲的奧斯威辛集中營倖存者史黛拉‧萊維，一開始只是幫史黛拉上英語口說課，法蘭克開始對史黛拉的遭遇感到好奇，於是提出了寫書的想法。兩人跨越六年、多達百次的週六晤談，在點點滴滴的回憶裡，勾勒出史黛拉的人生故事。史黛拉‧萊維是西班牙裔義大利猶太人，出生於殖民色彩濃厚的希臘羅德島猶太區，戰前的家鄉是個樸實可愛的城鎮，東正教、猶太教徒和各種傳統文化色彩的事物伴隨她長大，直至納粹將魔爪伸向南歐。她曾見證二戰期間猶太區幾近全毀的磨難，但背痛並未使她停下腳步，她成為奧斯威辛集中營的倖存者，並勇敢向未來邁進。法蘭克的洗練文字與插畫家的卡爾曼溫柔筆觸，生動呈現萊維近百年的人生風景，其中雖有黑暗，但也得見希望、韌性與智慧的光。Recipient of the Jewish Book Council’s Natan Notable Book AwardThe remarkable story of ninety-nine-year-old Stella Levi whose conversations with the writer Michael Frank over the course of six years bring to life the vibrant world of Jewish Rhodes, the deportation to Auschwitz that extinguished ninety percent of her community, and the resilience and wisdom of the woman who lived to tell the tale.With nearly a century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never before spoken in detail about her past. Then she met Michael Frank. He came to her Greenwich Village apartment one Saturday afternoon to ask her a question about the Juderia, the neighborhood in Rhodes where she’d grown up in a Jewish community that had thrived there for half a millennium.Neither of them could know this was the first of one hundred Saturdays over the course of six years that they would spend in each other’s company. During these meetings Stella traveled back in time to conjure what it felt like to come of age on this luminous, legendary island in the eastern Aegean, which the Italians conquered in 1912, began governing as an official colonial possession in 1923, and continued to administer even after the Germans seized control in September 1943. The following July, the Germans rounded up all 1,700-plus residents of the Juderia and sent them first by boat and then by train to Auschwitz on what was the longest journey—measured by both time and distance—of any of the deportations. Ninety percent of them were murdered upon arrival.Probing and courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a magical modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time—and to construct a life after that place has vanished. One Hundred Saturdays is a portrait of one of the last survivors drawn at nearly the last possible moment, as well as an account of a tender and transformative friendship that develops between storyteller and listener as they explore the fundamental mystery of what it means to collect, share, and interpret the deepest truths of a life deeply lived."
