Nine Suitcases by Bela Zsolt
Concentrating on his experiences in the ghetto of Nagyvarad and as a forced labourer in the Ukraine, Zsolt provides a rare insight into Hungarian fascism, but also a shocking exposure of the cruelty, indifference, selfishness, cowardice and betrayal of which human beings are capable in extreme circumstances.
B-la Zsolt was one of Hungary's best-known writers in the early twentieth century. Born in 1895, he served in the Austro-Hungarian Army from 1914 to 1918 and in a Hungarian-Jewish forced-labour unit in 1942-1943. In 1944, after a spell in a Hungarian ghetto and a German concentration camp, he found refuge in Switzerland. In 1945 he returned to Hungary and in 1947 became an anti-communist member of parliament. He died in 1949. Ladislaus L-b was born in Transylvania. He is Emeritus Professor of German at the University of Sussex.
