First edition of one of the earliest Holocaust survivor memoirs published in English following the Second World War—and prior to the Nuremberg Trials—recounting Leon Szalet’s imprisonment in Sachsenhausen and the machinery of Nazi extermination. Published in 1945 by Didier. 8vo (5.75” x 8.25”), red cloth stamped in black, 284 pages with an unusually striking wartime dust jacket design in black and red. A scarce and increasingly sought-after early concentration camp narrative, especially uncommon in an original jacket that presents as well as this one. Extensive mottling to boards; not affecting interior or dj. Light foxing to endpapers. Some bumping and rubbing to edge-chipped dj, with a few discreet closed tears. Top corner of front flap clipped.
