Night cruise recounts the experience of exclusion, which is not simply that of the stay of the author in the field of Ravensbrück, but his stay for months isolated in a cell within the same field. "Excluded among the excluded" Genevieve de Gaulle Anthonioz forth in this short story, written in a few days more than fifty years later ( "the book was in me"), passing alone through a dark night, accompanied by lack of a humanity in whose proximity eying the safe custody of a God who, beaten and segregated not leave at any time to refer their anguish, to move ignorance about death that can always happen the next day and to offer their suffering and all who share with it their destination excluded. A God who thereby is within the field, where many others were found with their absence.

A measure of inner experience lived by the author, Crossing the night spins an exciting and heartrending story, told with extreme modesty and sobriety; painful, no doubt, because it holds the unveiling of the unacceptable and irreparable injustice and memory recall horror; but where, quite in keeping with the mystery of a faith that knows strengthened with the greatest suffering, are not called neither hatred nor despair; but where, and now in line with everyone, believers or not, they have testified to the fields of deportees, recognizes that there is no greater crime than attempt to "destroy humanity in man."

Cruise night thus joins the great stories that have had the experience of concentration camps. indisputable many of them masterpieces precisely because, converted into literature, not disavowed for having become, but penetrate beyond words steeping and shapes narrated by constancy in them that in the amazing brevity of their pages, they have been able to say everything.
