Arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Dachau, Robert Antelme recovered his freedom a year later when François Mitterand, visiting the camp in an official capacity, recognized the dying Antelme and had him spirited to Paris. Antelme's story of his experiences in Germany-his only book-indelibly marked an entire generation, a work written without hatred, a work of boundless compassion such as that is to be found only in the great Russians. | The Human Race by Robert Antelme, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
