An essay on the role of sadism in human experience. Arguably essential in understanding the Holocaust, and also understanding the events of October 7, 2023. "Fiction" the way ancient Greek mythology is "fiction." An exploration of the ancient predatory behaviors that pre-dated civilisation and re-appear in people whenever civilisation is destroyed. My late father, whose ancestry was from Tomasov and Petrokov, who read the book but did not live to see the film, said the stories were emotionally authentic. My late mother, whose ancestry was from Silesia, who read the book but did not live to see the film, said she grew up hearing these stories, and she thought Kozinski had taken mythology from an older oral tradition reaching back millennia, and then he condensed the horrors into a single narrative. I advise read the book, then see the film. Both the book and the film are masterpieces.

An essay on the role of sadism in human experience. Arguably essential for understanding the root causes of the Holocaust. Fiction the way Greek myths are fiction: an exploration of how the predatory roots of humanity are exposed when civilization breaks down . My late father whose ancestors came from between Petrikov and Tomasov, felt that these stories were absolutely authentic. My late mother whose ancestors came from Silesia said she grew up hearing these stories. She felt that Kozinski took a body of mythology and condensed it, that originally these horrors had occurred over millenia. I advise first read rhe book, then see the film. Both are masterpieces.
