Description

A poor woodcutter and his wife lived in the forest. They had no children, but the wife desperately wanted one. Then one day, a bundle fell from the window of a freight train at the perpetually hungry woman’s feet. Goods? What luck! But inside the bundle was a baby, and the woman accepted it as a gift from heaven. How could she have known that the freight train wasn’t carrying goods to a store, but people to the Auschwitz concentration camp? Jean-Claude Grumbert’s stunning parable, “The Most Expensive Commodity,” tells the story of how the force of life overcame the death industry in the terrible humanitarian catastrophe of the 20th century.
