Book review: Daniel Speck's "Piccola Sicilia"With "Piccola Sicilia", Daniel Speck proves himself to be a great storyteller and intercultural bridge builder. This family saga also spotlights a little-known chapter of Tunisian history: the German occupation of the country in 1942/1943 and the fate of Tunisia's Jews. The exact number of victims of the German occupation in Tunis is not known. The German occupation was very short in comparison. Layla Bengassem hopes that Daniel Speck's novel will soon be translated into Arabic, French or English, so that she can read it herself.
