About This Item
One of the earliest depictions of concentration camps in fiction, written under a pen name by a German Jewish writer who fled the Nazis to Mexico. This unusual German-language publication there is the book's first appearance worldwide. It would be an immediate hit upon translation to English the following year, and inspire a 1944 film starring Spencer Tracy. The book would go on to be regarded as one of the major works of 20th century literature in German.
