Critic Reviews
“"With your work you give artistic meaning to an epoch of Jewish experience that is so unbelievably brutal that it is not possible for those who were never there to grasp the full breadth of its horrors. Your manner of conveying the ghetto life is, however, of such scope and literary power that the reader feels himself to be living with you."”
A work that rises to the heights of the great creations of world literature and towers powerfully over the Jewish literature of the Holocaust. - Jury decision for the Manger Prize for Yiddish Literature
