The memoir of Charlotte Delbo, a French writer sent to Auschwitz
for her resistance activities against the Nazi occupation of France
and the Vichy government "Delbo's exquisite and unflinching account
of life and death under Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with
time."-Sara R. Horowitz, York University Charlotte Delbo's moving
memoir of life and death in Auschwitz and the postwar trauma of
survivors, Auschwitz and After, is now a classic of Holocaust
literature. Offering the rare perspective of a non-Jew, Delbo
records moments of horror and of desperate efforts at mutual
support, of the everyday deprivation and abuse experienced by
everyone in the camps, and especially by children. Auschwitz and
After conveys how a survivor must "carry the word" and continue to
live after surviving one of the greatest catastrophes of the
twentieth century. This second edition includes an updated and
expanded introduction by Holocaust scholar Lawrence L. Langer. "No
memoir of those times is more sensitive and less
sentimental."-Geoffrey Hartman "I find Rosette C. Lamont's
remarkable translation of Charlotte Delbo's work perceptive,
delicate, and poignant, in short: exceptional."-Elie Wiesel
"Delbo's exquisite and unflinching account of life and death under
Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with time. The superb new
introduction by Lawrence L. Langer illuminates the subtlety and
complexity of Delbo's meditation on memory, time, culpability, and
survival, in the context of what Langer calls the 'afterdeath' of
the Holocaust. Delbo's powerful trilogy belongs on every
bookshelf."-Sara R. Horowitz, York University Winner of the 1995
