Nunua kutoka kwa QuakerBooks<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

Nikiwa mtoto wa Vita vya Pili vya Ulimwengu, vilivyozaliwa kwenye ukingo wa London mwaka wa 1941, nilistaajabishwa na sauti ya Gerda, aliyekua Ujerumani wakati huohuo. Nilipokuwa mtoto, Wajerumani walikuwa \u201cadui.\u201d Sikuweza kufikiria kuwa naye kama rafiki. Gerda Schlottke alikulia kuishi Kanada na kuwa mama wa mwandishi Michelle Barker. Barker ananasa kumbukumbu za mama yake katika kitabu hiki, ambacho kinajumuisha picha za Gerda, nyumba yake, wazazi na ndugu zake. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mnamo 1944, alipokuwa na umri wa miaka saba, wafungwa watatu wa kivita wa Ufaransa walitumwa kwenye shamba la familia kufanya kazi mahali pa wanaume Wajerumani waliochukuliwa kupigana. Ingawa walikuwa rasmi <\/span>
\n feinde<\/span>
\n<\/i> (maadui), familia inawaona kama<\/span>
\n watu wa kawaida<\/span>
\n<\/i> (marafiki), na kujitahidi kuwastarehesha. Hii ilikuwa hatari na inaweza kusababisha kufungwa gerezani. Hatimaye, wanaume Wafaransa walikuwa huru kurudi nyumbani. Ingawa hadithi hii inaelezea watu wema wanaohatarisha adhabu kali kwa amani ili kubaki waaminifu kwa maadili yao, sio idyll. Ndugu na baba ya Gerda waliuawa, na vita vilipoisha, askari wa Urusi \u201cwaliwakomboa\u201d wanyama wa shambani. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nakala ni wazi na inapatikana kwa wasomaji wachanga. Hadithi ni ya kuvutia kwa kusoma kwa sauti. Vielelezo ni vyema vya ukurasa mzima, na wakati mwingine kurasa mbili, vinaenea, vyote kwa rangi ya ukarimu. Kwangu mimi huchanganya uwazi na upesi na ubora wa kusisimua kutoka kwa vitabu vya picha vya utoto wangu mwenyewe. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sitasita kupendekeza kitabu hiki kwa familia, mikutano na shule. Usahili unaoonekana wa mtindo na masimulizi hutoa fursa za kuchunguza mambo kama vile ufafanuzi wa ”maadui,” jinsi watu hubadilika na kuishi chini ya ukandamizaji na mkazo, jinsi urafiki unavyoweza kuonyeshwa katika matendo madogo, yasiyo ya kiburi ya maisha ya kila siku. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tangu miaka ya 1940 ya utoto wangu, Wajerumani ni ”maadui” tu katika riwaya na filamu. Lakini katika karne ya ishirini na moja hakuna upungufu wa wale wanaoitwa ”maadui.” Changamoto ya kitabu hiki ni kuuliza: Tunawezaje kuepuka utumwa wa kufafanua kama ”maadui” watu ambao hawakubaliani na ufafanuzi wetu finyu wa ”marafiki”? Tunawezaje kuwakaribisha, kukubali, na kuwathamini watu tunaowafikiria kuwa \u201cwao\u201d? <\/span><\/p>\n

Mjukuu wa rafiki yangu amekuwa akitazama vitabu nami. Rafiki yangu alizaliwa miezi michache kabla yangu, na kama Gerda, alizaliwa Ujerumani. Ameishi Uingereza kwa miongo mingi. Ingawa familia zetu zilikuwa \u201cmaadui\u201d tulipozaliwa, hatujui chochote ila urafiki kati yetu sisi kwa sisi. Kitabu hiki kinanikumbusha kwamba urafiki kama huo ni tunda la thamani la amani linalohitaji uangalifu wa milele na uangalifu kwa mambo madogo. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3078675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,9972],"fpb_issue_category":[10229],"class_list":["post-3126092","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-rafu-ya-vitabu-ya-young-friends","fpb_issue_category-majira-ya-joto-ya-quaker"],"yoast_head":"\nMwaka wa Wanaume waliokopwa - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/mwaka-wa-wanaume-waliokopwa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mwaka wa Wanaume waliokopwa - Friends Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Michelle Barker, kilichoonyeshwa na Renne Benoit.
