Fateless by Imre Kertesz trans from Hungarian by Tim Wilkinson

An astonishing book. The story of a fourteen year old Hungarian Jew
imprisoned in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Narrated as seen through the eyes
of this teenager it brings a deeply realistic perspective of one who
genuinely lived through the experience, made all the more chilling by the
innocence of the childl's way of thinking.
