This article presents information about the book "A Child of Our Time," by Odon von Horvath. The nameless protagonist of this ardent and compact little novel gladly complies with both the letter and split of the stern injunction. Eventually, however, this mass-man of the Third Reich discovers the possibility of abolishing the mind and it is the very state on whose power he has relied to provide him with security and shield him from consciousness which in the end throws him on the scrap-heap. There has been no lack of protest, at once emotionally eloquent and intellectually informed, against the totalitarian assault on humanity. But few have written so effectively on anti-fascist themes as Odon von Horvath.
