Classic Holocaust stories in a new compilation and trade paperback format. 'One should read it in order not to forget.' Eleanor RooseveltFirst published in English in 1959 and long unavailable, Rachmil Bryks's vivid stories portray Jewish life in the Lodz ghetto and at Auschwitz. In a spare and tragicomic style, they illuminate the small and large absurdities that arise at the limits of human endurancefrom the cooking of 'roast meat' made of cabbage leaves to the predicament of Jews forced to cooperate in the hierarchy of their own annihilation. Deceptively simple and often humorous, these stories nevertheless mirror Bryks's nuanced view of major moral dilemmas of the period: action vs. inaction, preserving dignity vs. survival.This new edition brings together Bryks's wellknown novellas, 'A Cat in the Ghetto' and 'Kiddush Hashem;' two short stories; an early poem; and his important but littleknown essay, 'My Credo,' in which he defends his use of black humor in writing about unspeakable tragedy. A new introduction by scholar Adam Rovner and a new afterword by the author's daughter Bella BryksKlein illuminate Bryks's life and the work from two distinct perspectives.
