    Auschwitz: József Debreczeni's report is one of the classics of Holocaust literature – politics

    -

    The Hungarian author József Debreczeni passed through for twelve months of concentration camps and forced labor. His brilliant report from 1950, which is now finally available in German, must be counted among the classics of the Holocaust literature.

    There is no shortage of eyewitness reports on the horrors of the Holocaust. Marcel Reich-Ranicki, who survived the Warsaw Ghetto and the uprising there, once said in the early 1990s that he no longer needed books about concentration camp camps and no longer read. Except of this judgment, he has Ruth Klüger's report “Live” about their childhood and youth as a Jew in Vienna. Maybe he could also have called József Debreczeni's impressive “report from the country called Auschwitz”, but his book had already appeared in Hungary in 1950, but a German translation is only now available – with 74 years late, but just in time for 80. Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz through the Red Army.
