Koeppen's book bore the appellation "a novel."As it turns out, Koeppen worked from a fully completed typescript written by Jakob Littner who did indeed experience the horrific events described in this "novel" and who then emigrated to America, where he died in 1950. This is his own true story, with additional family and historical material provided by a younger relative.
