Ema oli küll Iirimaalt pärit, aga ei rääkinud sellest kunagi. Poeg Logan peab tema soovi lihtsalt tujuks ja arvab, et ema tuleks matta isa kõrvale. Tütar Faye...

Folklorist Jaan Sudak võtab raamatus vaatluse alla eesti unefolkloori ja unenäoended.

Bascha, Dvorka und Dorota: Die Frauen sitzen auf dem nackten Boden. Erinnerungen brechen in die Dunkelheit ihrer Baracke: an die Kindheit, die Eltern, die Geschwister, die Schule – und das Leben hier und jetzt: Dreck, Gestank und Hunger in einer Welt, in der sie sich selbst nicht sehen können und nicht wissen, ob es überhaupt noch eine Zukunft geben wird. Weil sie wissen, was der Rauch bedeutet. Von Oliven, Ameisen und Ratten handeln die neuen Geschichten von Christoph Heubner, die den...

Nur 60 in Auschwitz geborene Kinder konnten 1945 befreit werden. Doch Überleben hieß noch nicht Leben, es war ein Zwischenzustand, bedeutete Leben lernen. Sie mussten lernen, wieder jung zu werden, um wie andere Menschen altern zu können. Denn vor allem die Kleinen kannten die Vorstufen des Todes oft besser als das Leben. Narben blieben in den Seelen dieser Kinder, so wie die Häftlingsnummer, die am linken Unterarm, am Oberschenkel oder Po eintätowiert ist. Unruhig und verzweifelt sind manche...
