When Even the Poets Were Silent: The Life of a Jewish Hungarian Holocaust Survivor Under Nazism and Communism

Description

Some of the darkest episodes of 20th-century European history come to life in this memoir. The author portrays his childhood in Hungary in the 1930s and the spread of anti-Semitism. He discribes life in his town's Jewish ghetto, his family's journey in a sealed cattle-wagon to Vienna, and their time in a forced labour camp.
