Synopsis

At the Nazi Struthof concentration camp, Pierre Delmain, a deported political writer, attempts to escape the horror by taking refuge in his dreams. In the camp, he is assigned the grim task of finishing off by hand those prisoners too weak for scientific experiments. In Paris, art collector Saül Berstein hesitates to recognize the danger awaiting him.

Excerpt

"Saül Bernstein breathed art as if it were oxygen, unaware that horror was already breathing down his neck."
