"Children of the Holocaust" is a landmark of Holocaust literature and among the finest works produced since World War II. These profoundly moving stories transcend the gruesome realities of the camps; their strength is that of the human spirit, the individual's ability to achieve moral triumph through action. This volume contains sixteen short stories and the novel "Darkness Casts No Shadow."

Seven stories offer a satiric look at life in modern Czechoslovakia, including the black market, love, thievery, religion, and the need for secrecy.
