This work exposes the world to another side of the Holocaust, and readers are better for being able to experience it., Kraus draws on his experience in the children's block at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in this stirring tale, his first to be published in English. The powerful story delivers arresting vignettes that will force readers to consider the limits and possibilities of humanity., Kraus brings together the strength of his own personal experience with the storytelling powers of an exceptional writer. Kraus will now on occupy the important place he deserves among writers of the twentieth century., Kraus brings together the strength of his own personal experiencewith the storytelling powers of an exceptional writer.

Synopsis
A literary event that tells story of five hundred children who lived in theCzech Family Camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau between September 1943 and June 1944., We lived on a bunk built for four but in times of overcrowding, it slept seven and at times even eight. There was so little space on the berth that when one of us wanted to ease his hip, we all had to turn in a tangle of legs and chests and hollow bellies as if we were one many-limbed creature, a Hindu god or a centipede. We grew intimate not only in body but also in mind because we knew that though we were not born of one womb, we would certainly die together. Alex Ehren is poet, a prisoner, and a teacher in block 31 in Auschwitz- Birkenau, also known as the Children's Block. He spends his days trying to survive and illegally giving lessons to his young charges, all while shielding them as best he can from the impossible horrors of the camp. But trying to teach the children is not the only illicit activity that Alex is involved in. Alex is keeping a diary..., A literary event that tells story of five hundred children who lived in the Czech Family Camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau between September 1943 and June 1944.

    Thank you for the exceptional service! The book arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it was packaged and even more so by its early arrival, which was ahead of my expectations. The price was very reasonable, and the shipping costs were fair. I truly appreciate your attention to detail and efficient handling of my order. Thank you once again for providing such a positive experience!

    Item condition was described as Very Good, the item received seemed brand new, and shipped fast. Great value! Despite being packed well for the cost (free!), the item was handled roughly during shipping causing minor dings to the edges. This is no fault of the seller, just something to keep in mind as a risk incurred with items shipped within the US. Will purchase from this seller again! Thank you!
