- megaman22 9y agoFacinating. Reminds me of Andersonville and King Rat Also, I wish there wasn't so much material gated behind copyright and only available if you have access to a JSTOR subscription. To download the whole article (13 pages) if this wasn't being hosted on somebody's wordpress site, it would cost $43! http://www.jstor.org/stable/2550133?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents http://www.jstor.org/stable/2550133?seq=1#page_scan_tab_cont...
- vonnik 9y agoSlightly off-topic, but Primo Levi's "If this is a man" is an excellent description of life in a camp. In his case, it was Auschwitz.
