Original Publisher’s Cloth. 8vo. 314 pages. 22 cm. First American Edition. Fiction. “On the morning of the Allied victory in Europe at the end of the Second World War, the Polish inmates of a slave labor camp at Papenburg, near the Dutch border of Germany, exultantly throw off their shackles. The Camp of All Saints becomes, overnight, an island of victors in the ocean of defeated Germany. This is their last victory. Wild rejoicing is followed by a saturnalia of reprisals when by rape, plunder, torture and murder the Poles exact vengeance from their former captors. Then the ‘victors’ relapse into the quiescent servility of the stateless, to wait vainly for visas to a new life. And the Germans, technically defeated, flourish while the DP’s at the camp despair. ” –jacket. Translated by Norbert Guterman. Very Good Condition in like jacket. A beautiful copy. (HOLO2-93-10)
