by Bela Zsolt (Author), Bela Zsolt (Author)
Concentrating on his experiences in the ghetto of Nagyvarad and as a forced labourer in the Ukraine, Zsolt provides a rare insight into Hungarian fascism, but also a shocking exposure of the cruelty, indifference, selfishness, cowardice and betrayal of which human beings are capable in extreme circumstances.

Book Overview: Banned in Hungary until 1980, Nine Suitcases is one of the first- and greatest- memoirs of the Holocaust ever written. When Be la Zsolt first published it as a newspaper serial, there was no 'Holocaust literature'. Today there are whole libraries on the subject, but NINE SUITCASES still remains unique.
