Tábor padlých žien / The Camp of Fallen Women

The Camp of Fallen Women was one of the first satirical portrayals of socialist life and practices. Yet the novel’s success was all but guaranteed by the theme itself: the re-education of Bratislava’s prostitutes after February 1948 in the spirit of the new socialist morality carried out in the Nováky labour camp – a camp already notorious for its role during World War II when citizens of Jewish origin were interned there.
