The Seventh Well Fred Wander

Fred Wander, the son of poor Jewish immigrants in Vienna, was deported to Auschwitz in 1942. For twenty-five years he kept the memories of his fellow inmates in his head, but after the tragic death of his young daughter their voices poured forth. Published in East Germany in 1971, The Seventh Well finally appears in English in this masterful translation. 'A remarkable addition to Holocaust literature' Carol Angier, Literary Review
