このコンテンツについて
The story of the Jewish parachutists who escaped Nazi-occupied Europe to Palestine only to return on a British-sponsored mission near the end of World War Two is one that Matti Friedman had heard of but had never understood. Their names were legendary in the early years of the State of Israel, especially Hannah Szenes, best known for her poem “Eli, Eli,” who at the age of 23 was tortured and executed in Budapest, the city of her birth. And yet what exactly was the mission, and what had it actually accomplished? What had these parachutists done to become heroes?
Out of the Sky follows four of the parachutists from the spring of 1944 to the operation’s dramatic end that winter. The mission was run by British officers and Zionist leaders in Palestine who, faced with the Nazi threat, suspended their mutual distaste but not their mutual suspicion. The British needed multilingual agents behind enemy lines, while the Jewish leaders wanted to somehow fight back against their Nazi murderers. Of the thirty parachutists who jumped, seven were killed, while others performed acts of extraordinary bravery and ingenuity merely to escape back to Palestine. Not a single Nazi was harmed; not a single Jew was saved. Nothing of practical value was gained. And yet the myth of these brave young men and women willing to sacrifice themselves for a larger cause has eclipsed their actual deeds.
In Out of the Sky, Matti Friedman tells the gripping tale of this forgotten moment of history and shows us how story itself can have a power even greater than warfare. And in exploring the line between myth and reality, heroism and futility, and how history remembers what it chooses to remember, he creates an argument that has deep resonance and meaning in our own time.
批評家のレビュー
"Out of the Sky is a riveting story of Jewish resistance. For years I looked exactly for this book, for a textured and nuanced portrait of Hannah Senesh, Haviva Reich, and their fellow parachutists. In resurrecting this remarkable historical moment, Matti Friedman not only sheds light on an underdiscussed period but wisely hints at how this heroic narrative has helped shape modern Jewish identity.”
—Judy Batalion, author of The Last Woman of Warsaw
"An absolutely captivating story where the reality that Friedman has uncovered is far more fascinating than the myth. This is a book, in every sense, about the distance between heaven and earth, and the courage it takes to cross it.”
—Dara Horn, author of People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present
"In this hauntingly beautiful book, Matti Friedman sets out to recover the story of Hannah Senesh and her fallen companions from the shadowland of myth and fading memory. Friedman movingly gathers up the sparks of his Jewish heroes’ brief lives, their biblical dreams, European nightmares, and above all the hope, imagination, and youthful daring that could not save Europe’s Jews but continue to inspire the old-new country whose rebirth is Friedman’s true subject.”
—Jonathan Rosen, author of The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions
“I’ll read anything Matti Friedman writes, knowing his work will not only engage and enlighten, but transform me. Out of the Sky is the story of a woman who became a legend—and of the eternal interplay between human lives and history, how our stories, taken together, become the record of who we are.”
—Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
“Thrilling, terrifying and awe-inspiring, this is one of the great untold special forces stories of WW2: the joint SOE-Haganah mission into Yugoslavia, a story filled with espionage, daring, and peril, beautifully told by one of our finest storytellers, Matti Friedman. Compelling and compulsive reading.”
—Simon Sebag Montefiore, international bestselling author of The World: A Family History of Humanity and Stalin: The Court of the Red Zsar
"Matti Friedman achieves the rare feat of transforming archival discovery into gripping literature. Out of the Sky is at once an eloquent inquiry into heroism, a wrenching chronicle of bravery and betrayal, and a poignant evocation of a generation hurled from innocence into the maw of history."
—Benjamin Balint, author of Kafka’s Last Trial: The Case of a Literary Legacy
