I have little children and all I could think about was the students' terrifying experience being in a burning school, engulfed in unbearable heat, smoke and flames. I went to a Catholic school myself and could picture those old classrooms and transoms so clearly. I live in the Chicago area and feel the sadness even now of those horrible days of the fire and aftermath. That the injured victims and students who escaped were told to "forget about it" and move on, never quite able to talk about it and heal -- this book gave them their opportunity, finally. Quite a book. I have "To Sleep with the Angels" at home right now. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
On a terrible day in December 1958, one of the deadliest fires in American history took the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns at Our Lady of the Angels school in Chicago. The tragedy shocked the nation, tore apart a community with grief and anger, left many families physically and psychologically scarred for life, and prompted a mystery unresolved to this day. It also led to a complete overhaul of fire safety standards for American schools. The story of that fire was eloquently told ten years ago by John Kuenster and David Cowan in their best-selling book To Sleep with the Angels. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the fire, John Kuenster returns to talk with firemen, parents, children, reporters, clergy, school administrators, and others who were in some way connected with the disaster. Together their thoughts and feelings about their experience, still vivid and tender after a half-century, make Remembrances of the Angels a moving and often tearful book.
