Stunning novel, new translation from the original French. Originally published in 1958, ten years after the author's survival as a teenager at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I am awed and humbled by the power of the haunting imagery today. Reading the book with high school students today provides a new voice and personal connection for the students with the author and the Holocaust.
