  • "A New York Times bestseller, the shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived. North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did.In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival."@en

  • "Twenty-six years ago, Shin Dong-hyuk was born inside Camp 14, one of five sprawling political prisons in the mountains of North Korea. Located about 55 miles north of Pyongyang, the labor camp is a "complete control district," a no-exit prison where the only sentence is life. Inmates work 12- to 15-hour days in the camp -- mining coal, building dams, sewing military uniforms -- until they are executed, killed in work-related accidents, or die of illness often triggered by hunger. No one born in Camp 14, or in any North Korean political prison camp, has escaped. Until Shin."
  • "In Nordkorea existieren Straflager von unbeschreiblicher Brutalität, und doch sind sie kaum bekannt. Unter den ganz wenigen Zeugenberichten, die es überhaupt gibt, ragt die Geschichte von Shin Dong-hyuk heraus: Als Kind zweier Häftlinge wird er im Lager 14 geboren, einem der Lager, aus dem niemand je entlassen wird. Nachdem er 23 Jahre in dieser Hölle überlebt hat, wagt er die Flucht, die ihm wider alle Wahrscheinlichkeit gelingt. Shins Bericht ist das berührende Zeugnis eines ungewöhnlichen Schicksals und zugleich Dokument eines unmenschlichen Lagersystems. Nicht zuletzt ist das Buch ein Appell an die Welt, nicht länger wegzuschauen."
