Available in English for the first time, Joaquim Amat-Piniella’s searing Catalan novel, K.L. Reich, is a central work of testimonial literature of the Nazi concentration camps. Begun immediately after Amat-Piniella’s liberation in 1945, the book is based on his own four-year internment at Mauthausen. “When the war is over, remember all this. Remember me,” implores one of the book’s characters on his deathbed, and it is this call to bear witness that Amat-Piniella takes up in his account of the Spanish Republican fighters who were exiled in France at the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939 and soon swept up into the German concentration camp system. As an already organized anti-fascist army, they played an important role as a nucleus of resistance within the camps, and their story is little known to English-language readers. Because of the length of his internment, his decision to write his book as fiction, and his staggering powers of observation and recollection, Amat-Piniella’s portrayal of life in the camps is unmatched in scope and detail. It is also a compelling study of three powerful ideological movements at work at the time: anarchism, communism, and fascism, all within the desperate and brutal world of the camps. “My book does not seek to deepen wounds or differences, but to unite people before cruelty,” said Amat-Piniella. This is an essential text as we ponder the twentieth century and its meaning to us today. This edition includes a new preface, annotations, and a translators’ note.

Francesc y Emili, dos exsoldados republicanos que trabajan para el ejército francés, son capturados por las tropas nazis. Deportados al campo de concentración de Mauthausen junto a otros excombatientes españoles, allí empezará para ellos una experiencia terrible que los convertirá en testigos y víctimas de la llamada «internacional del dolor». El relato se centrará en Emili, quien logrará sobrevivir haciendo dibujos pornográficos para los SS. A través de él se nos muestra el funcionamiento de los campos: la corrupta red de Kapos, las distintas clases de reclusos, el terrible sistema de exterminio, la malnutrición...; la inhumanidad, en definitiva, de uno de los episodios más tristes de nuestra historia. Amat-Piniella escribió esta novela basándose en su experiencia como prisionero durante casi cinco años en distintos campos de concentración nazis, su intención era perpetuar la memoria de los miles de españoles que estuvieron internos en ellos. Según él, la forma novelística era «la más fiel a la verdad íntima de los que vivimos aquella aventura». Publicado por primera vez en 1963, K. L. Reich es, seguramente, el mejor libro que se ha escrito nunca en España sobre la experiencia en los campos. «Amat-Piniella eligió escribir una novela en tercera persona, no un libro de memorias, de modo que la vida en el campo está contada a través de una pluralidad de perspectivas. [Además] escribió K. L. Reich al mismo tiempo que Levi escribía Si esto es un hombre, en 1946, los dos muy cerca todavía de lo vivido, con una decisión urgente de contarlo por escrito cuando la memoria era todavía exacta, cuando aún no había habido tiempo para que se difuminara la precisión de los hechos, la exactitud de las sensaciones y hasta de las palabras.»Antonio Muñoz Molina (Babelia) «Excelente testimonio sobre algo que conviene siempre recordar, pero también novela con muchas páginas de narración impecable.»Ricardo Senabre (El Cultural) «Es necesario afirmar que K. L. Reich es una obra excepcional en el género, pues va mucho más allá de la mera descripción de los hechos para explorar una seria de aspectos que nos atañen a los españoles muy directamente, y que no deberíamos olvidar en absoluto. (...) Pues K. L. Reich puede ser no sólo uno de los mejores documentos para conocer el alcance de la vesanía y la crueldad en aquellos espacios coonsagrados a la tortura y a la muerte, sino una de las mejores novelas que se hayan escrito en este país, que además descubre a uno de esos escritores injustamente ocultos en las tinieblas de la incomprensión.»Antonio J. Ubero (La Opinión de Murcia)

Der Katalane Joaquim Amat-Piniella verarbeitet in dem preisgekrönten Roman "K. L. Reich" seine Erfahrungen im Konzentrationslager Mauthausen – einem der gefürchtetsten, das von insgesamt 7000 Spaniern 2000 überlebten. Dieser bedeutende Text ist in Katalonien Klassiker und Schullektüre, nun liegt er erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Er ist aus mehreren Gründen bemerkenswert, vereint er Themen wie spanischer Widerstand, politische KZ-Häftlinge, katalanische Literatur und Zeitgeschichte. Der Autor entschied sich für den Weg der Fiktion, so konnte er das Unbeschreibliche ohne Anspruch auf die Wahrheit einzelner Ereignisse erzählen. Es werden nicht nur das Grauen und die Not geschildert, sondern auch die sofort einsetzenden Machtverhältnisse unter den Häftlingen, das hilflose Mitleid und seine Grenzen – und der tägliche Voyeurismus. Aus dem Katalanischen von Kirsten Brandt. Mit einem Nachwort von Marta Marín-Dòmine.

Spaniards in Mauthausen is the first study of the cultural legacy of Spaniards imprisoned and killed during the Second World War in the Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen. By examining narratives about Spanish Mauthausen victims over the past seventy years, author Sara J. Brenneis provides a historical, critical, and chronological analysis of a virtually unknown body of work. Diverse accounts from survivors of Mauthausen, chronicled in letters, artwork, photographs, memoirs, fiction, film, theatre, and new media, illustrate how Spaniards have become cognizant of the Spanish government's relationship to the Nazis and its role in the victimization of Spanish nationals in Mauthausen. As political prisoners, their numbers and experiences differ significantly from the millions of Jews exterminated by Hitler, yet the Spaniards in Mauthausen were nevertheless objects of Nazi violence and witnesses to the Holocaust.

Spain has for too long been considered peripheral to the human catastrophes of World War II and the Holocaust. This volume is the first broadly interdisciplinary, scholarly collection to situate Spain in a position of influence in the history and culture of the Second World War. Featuring essays by international experts in the fields of history, literary studies, cultural studies, political science, sociology, and film studies, this book clarifies historical issues within Spain while also demonstrating the impact of Spain's involvement in the Second World War on historical memory of the Holocaust. Many of the contributors have done extensive archival research, bringing new information and perspectives to the table, and in many cases the essays published here analyze primary and secondary material previously unavailable in English. Spain, the Second World War, and the Holocaust reaches beyond discipline, genre, nation, and time period to offer previously unknown evidence of Spain’s continued relevance to the Holocaust and the Second World War.

K.L. Reich va ser escrita a Andorra entre 1945 i 1946 tot i que no va poder ser publicada fins al 1963 per culpa de la censura franquista. Aquesta edició presenta el text íntegre fixat el 2001 per David Serrano, professor de Filologia Catalana de la UOC i director del CILEC (Centre d'Investigació de la Literatura Europea Concentracionària), juntament amb un acurat estudi preliminar i un ventall ampli de propostes didàctiques per treballar el llibre dintre i fora de l'aula. Una eina imprescindible per professors i estudiants que ofereix importants recursos didàctics per la preparació de classes, debats i exàmens.La novel·la analitza la peripècia vital i moral de l'Emili, un deportat republicà que sobreviu cinc anys en un camp de concentració fent dibuixos pornogràfics per als SS. Entre el Bildungsroman i la novel·la de la condició humana, K.L. Reich és una proposta rellevant al costat d'altres obres canòniques de Primo Levi, Jorge Semprún o Imre Kertész pel que fa a la reflexió, des del laïcisme, sobre les conseqüències de l'Holocaust.Joaquim Amat-Piniella (Manresa 1913-Barcelona 1974) és autor del poemari Les llunyanies (1940-1946), escrit íntegrament dintre del camp de Mauthausen (Àustria). Intel·lectual i polític durant la IIa República, quan publica el llibre de retrats Ombres al Calidoscopi (1993), és autor també de El Casino dels Senyors (1956), Roda de solitaris (1957), La pau a casa (1959) i La ribera deserta (1966), d'evident regust existencialista.

The first comprehensive history of the Nazi concentration camps In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers an unprecedented, integrated account of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through their demise, seventy years ago, in the spring of 1945. The Third Reich has been studied in more depth than virtually any other period in history, and yet until now there has been no history of the camp system that tells the full story of its broad development and the everyday experiences of its inhabitants, both perpetrators and victims, and all those living in what Primo Levi called "the gray zone." In KL, Wachsmann fills this glaring gap in our understanding. He not only synthesizes a new generation of scholarly work, much of it untranslated and unknown outside of Germany, but also presents startling revelations, based on many years of archival research, about the functioning and scope of the camp system. Examining, close up, life and death inside the camps, and adopting a wider lens to show how the camp system was shaped by changing political, legal, social, economic, and military forces, Wachsmann produces a unified picture of the Nazi regime and its camps that we have never seen before. A boldly ambitious work of deep importance, KL is destined to be a classic in the history of the twentieth century.

This volume brings together new interdisciplinary perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, its victims, its contentious ending, and its aftermath. In exploring the slow demise of the Spanish Republic and the course of the Civil War, the authors have chosen to range in turn over cinematic, literary and historical depictions of the era. In addition, reactions elsewhere in Europe to the Spanish conflict are examined; the role of the International Brigades is looked at afresh; the fate of children displaced during the Civil War is explored; and the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement is revisited. The volume shows that to be any kind of soldier in the armies of the Republic, or even to be seen as a Republican sympathiser, was to become a "non-person" in the new order in Spain under Franco, and sets what supporters of the Republic had to endure within the wider European and international context of the period. This book offers timely fresh insights into the failure of the Spanish Republic and into a society that tried in vain to unite its divided people during what was a seismic era in Spain’s history. This book was originally published as a special issue of Bulletin of Spanish Studies.
