Escape From the Pit. By Renya Kulkielko. Sharon Book, New York, pp. 192, $2,50.
Miss Kulkielko, now living in a Kvutzah [kibbutz] in Palestine, was one of the few young Polish Jewesses who survived the Nazi holocaust in Poland despite imprisonment and unspeakable hardships. Her grim story is one of the few eye-witness accounts of those tragic years and adds another twin chapter to the story of man’s inhumanity to man and of man’s courage, ingenuity and endurance in the face of cruelty and evil. Ludwig Lewisohn generously contributes a foreword, but despite that, it must be ungraciously and ungallantly noted, that the book is for the most part matter-of-fact and prosaic and will not survive as a literary masterpiece.
