Children of the Holocaust

Children of the Holocaust is a landmark of Holocaust literature and among the finest works produced since World War II. These profoundly moving stories transcend the gruesome realities of the camps; their strength is that of the human spirit, the individual's ability to achieve moral triumph through action. This volume contains sixteen short stories and the novel Darkness Casts No Shadow.

"One is grateful for Mr. Lustig's quiet prose and for the fiction that we are reading fiction." --New Yorker

"Lustig is not only an eyewitness but also a skillful, gifted writer. . . . With age, exile and distance, he appears to have outgrown mere brilliance and learned to deal with the past in his own way." --Ernst Pawel, New York Times Book Review

"No one reading them could ever feel that they were only stories." --Times Literary Supplement
