This book is a unique account by a survivor of both the Soviet and
Nazi concentration camps: its author, Margarete Buber-Neumann, was
a loyal member of the German Communist party. From 1935 she and her
second husband, Heinz Neumann, were political refugees in Moscow.
In April 1937 Neumann was arrested by the secret police, and
executed by the end of the year. She herself was arrested in 1938.
In Under Two Dictators Buber-Neumann describes the two years of
suffering she endured in the Soviet prisons and in the huge
Central-Asian concentration and slave labour camp of Karaganda; her
extradition to the Gestapo in 1940 at the time of the Stalin-Hitler
Friendship Pact; and her five years of suffering in the Nazi
concentration and death camp for women, Ravensbruck. Her story
displays extraordinary powers of observation and of memory as she
describes her own fate, as well as those of hundreds of fellow
prisoners. She explores the behaviour of the guards, supervisors,
police and secret police and compares and contrasts Stalin and
Hitler's methods of dictatorship and terror. First published in
Swedish, German and English and subsequently translated and
published in a further nine languages, Under Two Dictators is
harrowing in its depiction of life under the rule of two of the
most brutal regimes the western world has ever seen but also an
inspiring story of survival, of ideology and of strength and a
clarion call for the protection of democracy.
