Cold Crematorium Book Talk with Alex Bruner

Cold Crematorium: The “Lost” Holocaust Masterpiece with Alex Bruner A lost classic of Holocaust literature translated for the first time—from journalist, poet and survivor József Debreczeni. Recorded: Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. ET A joint program from Knesset Israel and OLLI at BCC When veteran journalist, poet, and novelist József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz, he was “lucky" to be sent to a life of slave labor rather than directly to the gas chambers. He survived, and after the war wrote Cold Crematorium, which one reviewer called “the harshest, most merciless indictment of Nazism ever written.” The work was first published in Hungarian in 1950 but was never translated into a world language due to McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities, and antisemitism. Until now! In January 2024 it will be available in English, and within a year, in 15 languages around the world. Alex Bruner, the author’s nephew and a child of Holocaust survivors, discusses the historical and family context for his uncle's deportation to Auschwitz and describe the author's hellish journey through multiple slave labor camps. Bruner shares pictures, documents, as well as selected audio recordings. He also reviews why his uncle wrote the book, how it was initially received, the reasons it was not translated into a world language until now, and the lessons one can draw from the work.
