Book Description
After World War II ended another war in Europe was just beginning. Soviet Security Forces dubbed this war the Invisible Front. In 1944 hundreds of thousands of Lithuanian men and women formed an armed resistance against their Soviet occupiers. Few have survived to tell their story. As a Fulbright scholar I spent four years in Lithuania interviewing women, and men, who fought in the armed resistance, survived exile to Siberia or Tajikistan, and Lithuanian Jewish Holocaust survivors. This book gives a voice to the voiceless. This book tells the story of a generation that was forced to chose between good and evil as two powerful forces collided on their land. This book tells the stories of a courageous people who were overlooked by history.

Kapo
Author: Aleksander Tisma
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681374390
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
A devastating novel about the attrocities of WWII, and the unspeakable things people did to survive, by one of Yugoslavia's great literary voices. The Book of Blam, The Use of Man, Kapo: In these three unsparing novels the Yugoslav author Aleksandar Tišma anatomized the plight of those who survived the Second World War and the death camps, only to live on in a death-haunted world. Blam simply lucked out—and can hardly face himself in the mirror. By contrast, the teenage friends in The Use of Man are condemned to live on and on while enduring every affliction. Kapo is about Lamian, who made it through Auschwitz by serving his German masters, knowing that at any moment and for any reason his “special status” might be revoked. But the war is over now. Auschwitz is in the past. Lamian has settled down in the Bosnian town of Banja Luka, where he has a respectable job as a superintendent in the railyard. Everything is normal enough. Then one day in the paper he comes on the name of Helena Lifka, a woman—like him a Yugoslav and a Jew—he raped in the camp. Not long after he sees her, aged and ungainly, Lamian is flooded with guilt and terror. Kapo, like Tišma’s other great novels, is not simply a document or an act of witness. Tišma’s terrible gift is to see with an artist’s dispassionate clarity how fear, violence, guilt, and desire—whether for life, love, or simple understanding—are inextricably knotted together in the human breast.
