The Seventh Cross (Verba Mundi (Paperback)) - Softcover
Book 58 of 101: New York Review Books Classics
Synopsis
Written in 1939, first published in 1942, a national bestseller and a 1943 Book-of-the-Month-Club Main Selection, The Seventh Cross presented a first-hand account of life in Hitler's Germany and the horrors of the concentration camps. Seven men attempt an escape from Westhofen; the camp commander erects seven crosses, one for each. Only one, the young communist, Heisler, survives, not by cunning or superior skill, but through the complicity of a web of common citizens unwilling to bow to the Gestapo and forced to make decisions that will determine the character of their future lives.

Review
Noble simplicity of style and story...make this novel of pre-war Nazi Germany intensely engrossing and powerfully moving.
Book Description
A gripping escape novel, written while the Nazis were still in power, The Seventh Cross will appeal to readers of Alone in Berlin. Unavailable in English since its first publication in 1942, when it was an international bestseller, this is a brilliant new translation.
