If only he could stop looking over his shoulder and flinching on the street in the fear that some stranger will step forward, smack his face, and say in a loud voice, "Here's one!" If only he could stop worrying about Helena Lifka, who turned out to be a Yugoslav, and Jewish too; one of the women he made come naked into the toolshed where he hid the gold, and sit on his lap in exchange for bread and butter and a little warm milk. She could turn up any day, an old woman now, and point an accusing finger. In this masterful novel, Aleksandar Tisma shows step by step how fear can turn an ordinary human being into a monster.… (plus d'informations)

Only here was he safe, hidden, even if only for a short time, until the next moment, just as he had been safe in the toolshed at Aushwitz, the windows covered with boards and rags as he listened to the camp's waterfall babble of death rattles and prayers and danced to frighten a prisoner named Helena Lifka.
