Synopsis "Cold Crematorium"

A lost classic of Holocaust literature translated for the first time from journalist poet and survivor Jozsef Debreczeni When Jozsef Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz in 1944 had he been selected to go left his life expectancy would have been approximately forty five minutes One of the lucky ones he was sent to the right which led to twelve horrifying months of incarceration and slave labour in a series of camps ending in the Cold Crematorium the so called hospital of the forced labour camp Dornhau where prisoners too weak to work were left to die Debreczeni beat the odds and survived Very soon he committed his experiences to paper in Cold Crematorium one of the harshest and powerful indictments of Nazism ever written This haunting memoir rendered in the precise and unsentimental prose of an accomplished journalist compels the reader to imagine human beings in circumstances impossible to comprehend intellectually First published in Hungarian in 1950 but never translated into English this important eyewitness account finally takes its place among the great works of Holocaust literature A literary diamond A holocaust memoir worthy of Primo Levi The Times A masterpiece New Statesman
