Blagoslov moga oca: moje spasenje

Abstract

"U ovoj odličnoj knjizi opisani su događaji i ljudski porivi koji su Ivana Singera preobrazili od 1941. godine pa do završetka rata, da nakon završene obuke u Sovjetskom Savezu, od jugoslovenskog studenta jevrejskog porekla postane očeličen vojni pilot. Našavši se u svetu koji je naglo lišen normi na kojima civilizacija počiva, Singer stavlja svoje lično iskustvo u kontekst šire slike sukoba u Jugoistočnoj Evropi. “Naša sudbina je određena. Mi je ne možemo promeniti”, reči su koje Singerov otac odan humanističkim principima govori svome sinu neposredno pred odlazak u nemački logor. Iako Singer ne prihvata očev stav, očev blagoslov, nada u bolji svet pomoći će mu da preživi najkrvaviji rat u istoriji" (prof. Terens Pejn).

"This excellent book describes the events and human urges that transformed Ivan Singer from 1941 until the end of the war so that after completing his training in the Soviet Union, he became a successful military pilot from a Yugoslav student of Jewish origin. Finding himself in a world abruptly stripped of the norms upon which civilization is based, Singer places his personal experience in the context of the larger picture of the conflict in Southeast Europe. "Our destiny is determined. We cannot change it", these are the words that Singer's father, devoted to humanist principles, tells his son just before going to a German camp. Although Singer does not accept his father's attitude, his father's blessing, the hope for a better world will help him survive the bloodiest war in history" (Prof. Terence Payne).
