- epicureanideal 3y agoWhen reading this question I just happened to recall a Soviet writer, who was Jewish, who I think did see the concentration camps and write about them but wasn't a victim of them. But, this person didn't write in favor of communism despite being a writer in the Soviet Union. Their books were censored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Grossman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Grossman I found his book "Everything Flows" to be extremely interesting. It is a fictional account of a Soviet gulag survivor returning to his home, and reflecting on the people he meets and his life. https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Flows-Review-Books-Classics/dp/1590173287/ https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Flows-Review-Books-Classic... I think it's much better than "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich".
