Beschreibung:
Joaquim Amat-Piniella (1913-1974) was born in Manresa, Catalonia. In 1936, he enrolled as a volunteer in the Republican Army to fight against the fascists. In 1939 he went into exile in France. After being captured by the Germans he was sent to Mauthausen on January 27, 1941. He returned to Catalonia in 1948.
Available in English for the first time, Joaquim Amat-Piniella's portrayal of life in the camps is unmatched in scope and detail. It's also a compelling study of three powerful ideological movements at work at the time: anarchism, communism, and fascism, all within the desperate and brutal world of the camps.
