Review:

Simply put, a novel against dictatorship (Marcel Reich-Ranicki)

The material that this book is made from is long-lasting and indestructible; very few things on earth can be compared to it. It is known as justice (Christa Wolf)

It was [Seghers] who taught my generation and anyone who had an ear to listen after that not-to-be-forgotten war to distinguish right from wrong. The Seventh Cross shaped me; it sharpened my vision (Gunter Grass)

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.
