5.0 out of 5 stars One of THE most important German resistance novels, 3 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This is a must read for anyone interested in themes of resistance, solidarity and humanity. A beautifully written story by a writer who chose exile over complicity with an oppressive regime, the story is simple: seven men escape a concentration camp but only six are re-captured. As those who have been re-captured are put on show on specially erected crosses, the empty, seventh cross becomes a symbol of hope for the other prisoners. Although the message was intended directly for the people of Germany in the time of the Third Reich, the work was translated into many languages, inspiring hope around the world. The message at its core remains true for all times: solidarity is the key to survival, solidarity is the key to change.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book about the escape out of an Nazi prison, 8 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Seven men escape out of a conzentration camp in Nazi-Germany. Their goal now is not to get captured again. Its difficult to trust somebody because peoples true characters appear suddenly. The nazis catch one after the other again, let them nail on trees and torture them in the cruelest mannner. At last there is just one tree left empty. The seventh cross is a fabulous book. It describes in an very vivid and exciting way the situation among the german population at that time. The people midst decides about the lifes of these seven completely different guys. It's not easy to find the way out through the tight net of nazis. Tough situation let peoples true face appear. Danger is everywhere and you can't trust anybody. Faith, hope but also evil and death are reunited in that seventh cross (last tree that is left). The whole story of one man reflects and embodies the grief of a lot of german people. But finally it's just another war. Silence will return. Nobody is able to ! surpress and reign in such an unhuman manner about other people.
