About this product

Product Information

A love story and a detective story, a study of history and of memory, this spellbinding new work explores a son's confrontation with the terror of his parents' childhood. Moving from Poland and Germany to Jerusalem and Melbourne, Mark Raphael Baker travels across the silence of fifty years, through the gates of Auschwitz, and into a dark bunker where a little girl hides in fear. As he returns to scenes of his parents' captivity, he struggles to unveil the mystery of their survival. the Fiftieth Gate is a journey from despair and death towards hope and life; the story of a son who enters his parents' memories and, inside the darkness, finds light. * Winner, NSW Premier's Literary Award 1997 'It is an honour to read this magnificent book. Baker does with memory what Rembrandt does with light. He uses it to model, to imagine, to illuminate, to astonish.' - Philip Adams 'this gate here, I recognise it. Behind it is a steep slope, a hill, fields, grass. We would slide down it in winter.' At last, an incontrovertible test through which my father's memory might be vindicated. two lone gates that appear to lead nowhere. 'Push,' we scream, 'lift the latch and push.' 'No. I remember too much now. No.'

5 out of 5 stars

Bring you to your knees and make you pray for humanity
An incredibly heart moving story. There are so many books on the Holocaust. This one is written in a way that makes you feel like you are there witnessing what is going on. It pulls you in, and makes you feel sadness, pain and happiness. It is a heart wrenching story. "Freedom is not a happy ending. It is a flame that dances in remembrance, inside the blackness". p.314 At times you'll need a tissue. At times the content of the book was more then I could stomach and I needed a break. Its hard to read something when you know how much pain this brings so many people.
