- Summary:
- A groundbreaking collection of Holocaust literature by the heirs to the greatest evil of our time. History is preserved in the memories of Holocaust survivors and the imaginations of their children, the so-called Second Generation. Nothing Makes You Free considers the heritage of the descendants of those who faced the hortific lie that adorned the gates of Auschwitz: "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work makes you free"). Gathered here are writings both fictional and nonfictional, ranging from farce to fantasy to brutal realism, from an international selection of writers, including Art Spiegelman, Eva Hoffman, Joseph Skibell, and Carl Friedman.
