Salamandra by K.Tzetnik 135633 [Yehiel Di-nur]. Translated from the manuscript by Y. L. Baruch [Yitzchak Leib Baruch]. Tel-Aviv: "Dvir", (1946). First edition.
The novel "Salamandra", by holocaust survivor Yehiel Di-nur (1917-2001), is the first in his series of books, "Salamandra, chronicle of a Jewish family in the twentieth century", dealing with the holocaust. "Salamandra" was composed by Di-nur in only three weeks, right after his release from Auschwitz, and the book was first published in 1946, shortly after his arrival in Palestine. The book aroused, and still does, much interest, for being one of the first books which recorded the atrocities of the holocaust and for its unique style using historic-documentary elements creating a fiction novel. "Salamandra" was translated into many languages and is included in the list of works studies in Israeli schools for the final examinations in literature.
