Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16587 ratings)

Description:Lost to history for decades and now available in English for the first time, Internee Number 6 is a groundbreaking memoir that provides an intimate, first-hand account of life inside Fascist Italy's internment camps during World War II.Written by Maria Eisenstein, a Viennese Jewish scholar, this remarkable work stands as the earliest known memoir written from within a Fascist internment camp in Italy. The account begins on June 10, 1940—the day of her arrest by Mussolini's police—and follows her journey from a Sicilian jail to the concentration camp of Lanciano, where she was imprisoned alongside seventy-five other women, both Jewish and citizens of "enemy countries."With wry humor and keen insight, Eisenstein paints a subtle portrait of a society caught between cultural ideals and Fascist reality. Her narrative expertly captures the dynamics of power, the place of women, and the complex moral atmosphere of wartime Italy, where well-meaning citizens unknowingly contributed to Fascism's foundation through their performed ideals of morality, strength, and valor.Originally published in Rome in 1944, just two months after the Allied liberation of the city, the book nearly vanished when most copies of its small first printing were lost. For years, many believed it to be a work of fiction by a mysterious author, until historian Carlo Spartaco Capogreco uncovered Eisenstein's true identity in 1989.This edition features an illuminating afterword by Eric Feingersh Steele, the author's son, bringing closure to Eisenstein's story after her immigration to America in 1948. Masterfully translated by poet Will Schutt, Internee Number 6 stands as both a crucial historical document and a timeless meditation on survival, resistance, and the human spirit in the face of oppression.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
