His works have often involved the Holocaust. Lustig was born in Prague. As a Jewish boy in Czechoslovakia during World War II, he was sent in 1942 to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, from where he was later transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, followed by time in the Buchenwald concentration camp. In 1945, he and another young man escaped from a train carrying them to Dachau when it was attacked by an American aircraft. The story "Darkness Casts No Shadow" from his book Diamonds of the Night (Czech: Démanty noci), a collection of short stories published in 1958, was inspired by this incident, and four years later the story was adapted into the film Diamonds of the Night. Lustig returned to Prague in time to take part in the May 1945 uprising against the German occupation.'
