Kapo Tisma, Aleksandar
Harcourt, Brace & Co. September 1993 0-15-146693-9 / 9780151466931 1st Edition Mass Mkt. P B As New
Minor shelf wear to dust jacket, else as new.Lamian saved his own life at Auschwitz and Jasenovac by working as a Kapo--a prisoner employed as guard. But for his crimes (most of which corroded him, particularly the food-for-sex deals he forced on women), he loses his mind and soul and any hope of rejoining humanity. This relentless psychological examination of a Holocaust survivor paralyzes the reader with shocking honesty and reverberant social implications: Was Lamian prepared for his role as a KAPO before the war when forced to repress his Jewish identity. And because the setting is Yugoslavia, current issues eerily creep into the reading experience. A novel that demands witness, a frightening reminder.
