Summary
Picture one, summer 1945: Gita Laušmanova, a girl of barely sixteen, survived the concentration camp and hurries to her native Puklice, so that after years of horror and suffering, she could hug her loved ones and sleep in her own bed again. She returned and found that there was nowhere to return.
Picture two, summer 2005: Gita Laušmanova, an energetic woman at the end of her life, was severely marked by fate. She didn't let them completely destroy her life. Accumulated memories come alive. Gita removes the blindfold, bravely and mercilessly. The main thing is to stay in line, not to pass out, not to cry, says Gita.
The author's second book of prose is a grotesquely dark event, a panopticon, in which the reflections of events that we ourselves live shine. Money from Hitler contains dramatically tense scenes, cinematic and stylistic virtuosity with which the author draws us into the narrative network of difficult and painful situations.
