Nine Suitcases is a horror story but, sadly, a true one. Zsolt was both an accomplished novelist and a highly skilled journalist. He reports and analysizes the appalling events, almost immediately after they occurred, with exceptional freshness and a devastating blend of angry despair and cool detachment.

A compelling memoir of the Holocaust, never before published in English, recalls the author's harrowing experiences in the ghetto and as a forced laborer in the Ukraine, furnishing a shocking study of fascism in Hungary and the depths to which humans--victims and perpetrators alike--can go in extreme circumstances. 12,500 first printing.
