Luba: The Angel of Bergen-Belsen
March 13, 2011
This book is written by McCann but it says as told to her by Luba Tryszynska-Frederick, the same Luba who is the title character of this book, the heroine. My cynical self put up an alert: the heroine telling her own story?! But, I soon was put to shame because I don’t think Luba was self-aggrandizing, and there is also plenty of corroboration by others, including some by the children who were saved.
I almost added it to my fiction and historical-fiction shelves because there is an author’s note at the beginning of the book that this is “based on actual events” and that “dialogue and a few composite characters have been created in order to better tell the story” but, after finishing this book, I feel confident that it’s essentially a non-fiction account of events that happened decades ago, as real as anyone’s memories can be after that amount of time has elapsed. It’s also designated by the Library of Congress as a non-fiction biography. There is a lot of non-fiction history given, and real photographs. There is also a wonderful bibliography that includes books, articles, videos, letters, personal interviews, and websites.
