A beautiful Holocoust story which goes beyond the others.

The most powerful aspect of the tale is the viewpoint in which the characters share the inevitable guilt of the reader for watching the suffering without really experiencing it. The jesters are in the concentration camp for being gypsy, dwarfed and hunch-backed, but they are spared to entertain the General's guests. Through their experiences they learn that one can survive most anything for the sake of living another day.
