'While the average reader cannot pretend truly to understand the
reality of those who suffered in concentration camps, Kertesz draws
us one step closer' Observer Gyuri, a fourteen-year-old Hungarian
Jew, gets the day off school to witness his father signing over the
family timber business - his final act before being sent to a
labour camp. Two months later, Gyuri finds himself assigned to a
'permanent workplace'. This is the start of his journey to
Auschwitz. On his arrival Gyuri finds that he is unable to identify
with other Jews, and is rejected by them. An outsider among his own
people, his estrangement makes him a preternaturally acute
observer, dogmatically insisting on making sense of the barbarity -
and beauty - he witnesses.
