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.
