Der Wald der Götter

Knowing Sruoga was a survivor of the Holocaust, I wonder how his own trauma influences the way he portrays hope and despair in the story.

The book weaves history with deep questions about human nature, but I’m curious if others felt it sometimes slowed the narrative or added to its weight.

The forest feels like a powerful metaphor, but I wonder what led Sruoga to choose this as a central image and how it reflects their experiences.
