Mitch Albom: 我创作《小谎言》的初衷是探讨真理的珍贵以及谎言的严重后果。我选择在大屠杀的背景下展开故事,因为这是历史上谎言最为盛行和破坏性最大的时期之一。小说讲述了一个男孩因被骗而撒谎,以及这个谎言对他和他周围的人产生的深远影响。故事发生在希腊塞萨洛尼基,这个城市曾是欧洲犹太人口最多的城市,却在大屠杀中几乎被完全摧毁。我希望通过这个故事,让人们铭记这段历史,避免类似悲剧重演。这本书并非单纯讲述大屠杀的历史,而是关注谎言、控诉以及宽恕和开放的心态在大屠杀后的影响。书中探讨了宽恕的可能性和难度,宽恕并不意味着遗忘,而是为了避免历史重演。我们必须记住,纳粹的暴行并非源于强大的武力,而是源于谎言和人们对谎言的轻信。在当今社会,我们也面临着类似的危险,即指责他人、制造分裂,这正是导致大屠杀的根源。因此,我们必须保持警惕,避免重蹈覆辙。即使在集中营这样绝望的环境中,人们仍然会寻找希望和积极的东西,而希望是支撑人们生存下去的关键。 Shannon Bream: 《小谎言》能够帮助人们进行反思,记住大屠杀的现实。在大屠杀背景下,宽恕的可能性和难度值得探讨。提醒人们记住历史教训,避免重蹈覆辙。
