Forest of the Gods (Lithuanian: Dievų miškas) is a memoir of the Lithuanian poet and writer Balys Sruoga about his experiences in the Nazi Stutthof concentration camp.
According to the author, the title is the local name of the marshy wooded area in which the camp was established.
[2] [3] A distinctive feature of the memoir is its gallows humor.
"[1] Balys Sruoga started writing his memoir in 1945 and finished a 450-page manuscript in several months in a writers' sanatorium in Birštonas.
For many years the Soviet censorship disallowed the publication of the memoir.
