We are fortunate that the author was able to write his diary while in the concentration camp. This book was painful to read but so necessary. Let's not forget what power and intolerance can do to some people and the horrors that some humans are capable of committing. Thanks to the de Wind family for having the book translated to English.

Last Stop Auschwitz is a fascinating, yet heart-breaking insight into life in Auschwitz, fighting to freedom, fighting for love and fighting to survive. Unlike many of the books and stories set in the concentration camps, Last Stop Auschwitz is able to perfectly capture the feeling, the confusion and the chaos of life inside a concentration camp in a very authentic-feeling way.
