Synopsis "Survivors: Hungarian Jewish Poets of the Holocaust (in English)"

Between March 1944 and April 1945, half a million Hungarian Jews, Roma, homosexuals and political dissidents were transported to extermination camps, mostly in Poland and Austria. Tens of thousands were enslaved in labour camps. Almost three-quarters of Hungary's Jewish population perished. Survivors brings together, for the first time in English, poems about the Hungarian Holocaust by Dan Dalmat, Tamas Emod, Gyorgy Faludy, Eszter Forrai, Agnes Gergely, Jeno Heltai, Frigyes Karinthy, Eva Lang, Andras Mezei, Thomas Orszag-Land, Miklos Radnoti, Hanna Szenes, Magda Szekely, Erno Szep, Vera Szollos, Gyorgy Timar, Judit Toth and Istvan Vas. Survivors is an anthology of poems about political barbarism. But it is also a book about life. These poets looked evil in the face, and dedicated their lives to warning humanity about Fascism.
