Summary:	"In 1943, the twenty-year-old Polish poet and journalist Tadeusz Borowski was arrested and deported to Auschwitz as a political prisoner. What he experienced in the camp left him convinced that no one who survived Auschwitz was innocent. All were complicit; the camp regime depended on this. Borowski's tales present the horrors of the camp as reflections of basic human nature and impulse, stripped of the artificial boundaries of culture and custom. Inside the camp, the strongest of the prisoners form uneasy alliances with their captors and one another, watching unflinchingly as the weak struggle against their inevitable fate. In the last analysis, suffering is never ennobling, and goodness is tantamount to suicide. Regarded by Czesław Miłosz as the most terrifying tales to emerge from the Holocaust, these stories are a chilling look at a moral universe governed entirely by the will to power." -From publisher.
