Main text in German; front flap text in English, rear flap in Spanish.

One of the earliest depictions of concentration camps in fiction, written under a pen name by a German Jewish writer who fled the Nazis to Mexico. This unusual German-language publication there is the book's first appearance worldwide. It would be an immediate hit upon translation to English the following year, and inspire a 1944 film starring Spencer Tracy.
