Description

8vo, pp.174, ex-library with usual stamps and pate downs, otherwise good.In this fascinating work of autobiography, Margolius gives us her account of her early adult life in the Camps of Lodz and Auschwitz. After the war and back in Prague she and her husband joined the Communist Party. In doing so, they believed that socialism offered a genuine alternative to the injustice, racism and war of capitalism. Yet under the Soviet Stalinist version of socialism; their idealism was gradually undermined. Her husband was tried and executed in a party purge. The Prague Sping of 1968 gave her a brief hope that a genuine Democratic Socialist society might be possible. This hope was extinguished by the intervention of Soviet armed forces. This then is a remarkable work of hope in the face of horror and defeat. The book itself is in a good overall condition. It is aformer library copy. It therefore comes with the normal marks one would expect. DJ very good. Spine and covers all excellent.
