Reviews
This book brings home, in awful unrelenting detail what it was like for those who were not killed, but lived for some time in the concentration camps. As a young man, the author was in several camps, including Auschwitz, but eventually got out and lived to be a father and grandfather. It makes for very difficult reading, often because of the small details - the clothes covered in lice, the endless hunger and efforts to overcome it and even the very real difficulties of walking (and working) in wooden clogs in muddy countryside. Death, of course, is absolutely everywhere - sometimes visibly by the witnessing of hanging, lashings or stoning or, very powerfully, within highly overcrowded trains, but more often by the knowledge that people just disappeared. This is the kind of book that ought to be read by people everywhere, simply to understand what the phrase 'man's inhumanity to man' really means. - Anne R. If anyone ever doubts that the holocaust happened, which remains a mystery as how people could, then please read this book and then deny it At times a very difficult read at the cruelty of man upon man At times l felt as though l too was suffering on behalf of their pain it was too words just fail me. - Andrew Fryer This is one amazing, sad, horrific and triumphant story ! I would recommend this book by Joseph Schupack to all adults. I think at times we seem to not remember so much of The Holocaust and we can NEVER Forget! He recounts the years of slavery in several of the Nazi concentration camps. There are many horrific events. Very much so The Dead Years with *no birds flying around and no blue sky to look up at.* Mr Schupack suffered severely with hunger, filth, the ridicule of the Nazis and the Shupos, constantly being eaten by lice and still, he did not succumb to the Nazi's reign of terror. This was unimaginably difficult and one wonders how he ever mustered the strength in such trying belittling times when being born a Jewish person in Europe was so wrong. - Luise Ven

Author Information
Joseph Schupack was a Holocaust survivor (1924 - 1989) from Radzyn-Podlaski, a small town in Poland. His entire immediate family perished in the Second World war. In 1981 he decided to write his memoirs, The Dead Years. His unusually detailed recollection of names and dates makes compelling reading. Joseph Schupack passed away at the age of 67, leaving a wife and two sons.
