• Description

  Mauthausen "Mauthausen" by Iakovos Kambanellis is a shocking literary work that captures the last moments of a concentration camp, against the backdrop of its liberation by the Americans in 1945. The book illuminates the human stories behind the historical tragedy, highlighting the souls seeking hope and freedom in a world full of violence and despair. The plot follows the prisoners of Mauthausen, such as Xekardakis, as they experience the waiting and eventual liberation. Kambanellis' characters are full of emotions: from the bewildered awe in front of the American tank, to the bitterness of Xekardakis contemplating his return without gifts for his loved ones. The conflicts between hope and despair highlight the human soul in all its dimensions.
