Refusal to help Eichmann's "transportation" experts would have meant immediate death, but always there was the agonizing moral dilemma: even under duress, was cooperation not betrayal? Last week Israeli Prosecutor David Libai gave the state's answer in the first...
...principle importance of the novel, however, is political and not literary. Soviet authorities no longer deny the existence of slave labor camps under Stalin; but never before has the regime allowed publication of such a brutally detailed description of that chapter in Soviet history...
