adventurous challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This is a very emotional and heavy read, but incredibly important.  Every person who is able, should read it.  It is heartbreaking, infuriating, and painful to read Rudi and Fred's accounts.  I don't know the right words to properly talk about this book other than we should continue to learn from those who have experienced things first hand.  We also see the how vital the bridge between knowledge and belief is.  Those combined spur action.

Rudi and Fred's accounts should be added among those of Primo Levi, Anne Frank, Elie Weisel, and more.  Their commitment to remembering every little detail gives us a glimpse of the horrors.  Their story, among the millions of victims, should be remembered and honored.
