Fateless

While the average reader cannot pretend truly to understand the reality of those who suffered in concentration camps, Kertesz draws us one step closer Observer n nGyuri, a fourteen-year-old Hungarian Jew, gets the day off school to witness his father signing over the family timber business - his final act before being sent to a labour camp. Two months later, Gyuri finds himself assigned to a permanent workplace. This is the start of his journey to Auschwitz. n nOn his arrival Gyuri finds that he is unable to identify with other Jews, and is rejected by them. An outsider among his own people, his estrangement makes him a preternaturally acute observer, dogmatically insisting on making sense of the barbarity - and beauty - he witnesses.
