About this book

The Old Guard is a blunt portrayal of how life in a concentration camp affected the human psyche, and of what that damage meant for people afterwards. The book is set around a small group of survivors who form an unspoken bond, and it follows the slow wearing away of trust and the return of memories they had tried to bury.

The author, Mieczyslaw Lurczyński, was himself a camp survivor who was not Jewish. The book is often placed among the earliest works of Holocaust literature, and it suits readers of war writing, students of history, psychology and literature, and anyone interested in trauma and memory.
