Synopsis
It was the last refuge of the desperate Jews-the warren of sewers underneath their city. Above, the Nazis implemented the destruction of their friends and relatives in a final Aktion against the ghetto in the Polish city of Lvov. A small band of Jews, however, escaped into the grim network of tunnels, there to live for fourteen months with the city's waste, the sudden floods that washed some of them away, the fumes and the damp, the rats, the darkness, and the despair. Their only support was a sewer worker, an ex-criminal who constantly threatened to leave them if they ran out of money. Many died; some of cyanide in mass suicide, some of falling into the rushing waters of the river, some simply of exhaustion. A baby was born and then murdered almost immediately. The group quarrelled, split into factions and threatened each other at gun point. The survivors found themselves at one point, trapped in a chamber filling to the roof with storm water. Yet survive they did, even infiltrating themselves into the camps above to find their missing relatives. When the Russians liberated Lvov, they emerged from the sewers filthy, bent double, emaciated, unrecognizable. When they opened their eyes their eye seemed blood red. Robert Marshall, author of All the King's Men, has written the harrowing story of the survivor's ordeal based on a long series of interviews and a hitherto private diary, creating a blazing testimony to human faith and endurance., It was the last refuge of the desperate Jews-the warren of sewers underneath their city.

Seller Feedback (2,198)
- g***r (333)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseVery happy with sellers description. At almost 40 years old books mostly all look like they were stored in a pristine way and never even opened. What little you see on any cover, (only a couple and so minor almost not worth mentioning, just shelf wear) still looks like inner pages were never even turned. Great price, great shipping, fantastic packaging. Highly recommend this seller and very happy to find a pristine and complete set without flaw. Would not hesitate to do business with again.
