»Erich Hackl is like an investigating detective pursuing a case where all the principals are long dead and the few who remain may be reluctant to talk. [...] These powerful inquiries spurred by photos are history made flesh, the untold lives of the mostly forgotten.«

»Erich Hackl’s use of emotional triggers related to injustice and redemption are both subtle and commanding. In the same way that we relate to injustice of the oppressed, this author delivers stunning situations in which innocent families and characters are destroyed by an unjust rule of law. Yet the ultimate value of a book like this lies in the author’s delivery of life between the lines, beyond the vagaries of a reader’s sentient ability to comprehend. Here, Hackl elicits his best and most enduring success.«

»Highly recommended [...] a haunting book.«

»Hackl’s narrative is masterful and compelling.«

»Erich Hackl’s concise and hauntingly dense works of prose have gained him a huge audience and great success. At the bottom of his efforts are usually some forgotten beings, victims of our century’s cruel history, with their authentic albeit not exactly remembered biographies.«
