Written by a member of the French resistance who became an important literary figure in postwar France; this moving memoir of life and death in Auschwitz and the postwar experiences of women survivors has become a key text for Holocaust studies classes. This second edition includes an updated and expanded introduction and new bibliography by Holocaust scholar Lawrence L. Langer. “Delbo’s exquisite and unflinching account of life and death under Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with time. The superb new introduction by Lawrence L. Langer illuminates the subtlety and complexity of Delbo’s meditation on memory; time; culpability; and survival; in the context of what Langer calls the ‘afterdeath’ of the Holocaust. Delbo’s powerful trilogy belongs on every bookshelf.â€â€•Sara R. Horowitz; York University Winner of the 1995 American Literary Translators Association Award

I would have better liked a style that would have given us more feeling and insight into the personal life and personality of the Gaon.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
