5.0 out of 5 stars Concentration camp with dark humor
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2013

A unique book. Even describing the utter horrors of a German concentration camp in East Prussia, the writer maintains a darkly humorous narrative. Also, seeing the guards and SS men as human beings (not necessarily more likeable because of that, quite the contrary), is rare for this kind of literature.

I have read many memoirs of the holocaust and this was one of the most interesting. His writing is flawless and real. I felt he was telling me a story. I highly recommend this to any English reader. the translation is impeccable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only one Lithuanian writer that was good
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013
I read this book in original Lithuanian.

I cannot stand Lithuanian writers, but Balys Sruoga is one of my favorite Lithuanian authors which I can count on my one hands' fingers. He had what don't have Lithuanian writers of nowadays- humor sense. Especially black humor and irony. Balys Sruoga could change his pain and suffering into jokes, while other Lithuanian authors whine and whine how unhappy are their characters or themselves. Sruoga showed he is not like that. And his writing style is very unique, which you can notice just reading this book in original Lithuanian. Even if you learned Lithuanian- you won't understand anything. The author uses a lot of words we don't use in Lithuania anymore and such words that no university can teach you. Sometimes even I thought what some words mean, no matter that I'm Lithuanian and learned old words from my great-grandparents.

I read only few chapters of this book at school, but now I found some time to read it all. The painful experience of Balys Sruoga helped him to write his best book which is now analysed in Lithuanian literature's classes in last years before graduation. Happy person will never write good book, only painful experience and suffering gives you inspiration. So I bow low for Balys Sruoga to thank for this incredible book! It was very good!

He did not have an option not to write this book. As well as we don't have a luxury not to read it.
