Author: Alexandra Ciniglio.
It was 2017 in Madrid, Eva Leitman-Bohrer was vacating her recently deceased father’s flat when she found, inside an old safe, a neat file with all kinds of papers, certificates, passports, letters and photographs. He immediately knew that these were the clues to reconstruct his and his family’s history, the one his parents had never told him. At the age of seventy-two, she began to work with the help of journalist Alexandra Ciniglio, who with her investigative expertise managed to decipher the path between Budapest and Madrid, passing through Tangiers and also Mauthausen, the death camp.
With Pape’s Secret Papers, Alexandra Ciniglio offers, in a rigorous and at the same time entertaining way, the story of Eva’s family, but also that of millions of victims of the Shoah, while making personal the role of Spain, the former Sepharad, which vindicates itself thanks to diplomats like Ángel Sanz Briz, the Angel of Budapest, rescuing them from the clutches of death and offering them a new life.
