It is a testimony in which we discover a dramatic picture of that era, etched by the monstruous and deformed epoch of German fascism. The author gives a detailed narrative of the effort of the prison doctors who provided health care in Terezin's Small Fortress in conditions vastly different from those in times of peace. It was not just an effort, but a battle against the consequences of Nazi terror. In this book we find no false sentiment, but rather a sober description of the methods which mitigated the cruelty of the mighty Nazi machine."
