Anna Seghers’ novel The Seventh Cross (German: Das siebte Kreuz) is one of the better-known examples of German literature circa World War II. It was published first in the United States in an abridged version in September 1942 by Little Brown and Company. Its publication was surrounded by a certain amount of fanfare; by the end of September there were already plans for a comic strip version of The Seventh Cross it having already been selected as a Book-of-the-Month Club book.
