This book explores the Holocaust in a way that I've never seen before. The detail expressed is heartbreaking, and earthshattering, making you want to kiss the ground your reading on. I cannot recommend this book enough, thank you to my sophomore-year high school teacher Mr. Hill for introducing it to me. It was a great read then, and still is now.

This book is so vitally important. It is an absolutely heartbreaking exploration into one man's experiences in to some of the most hellacious events in the history of mankind. The things that occurred were to the point I needed to put this book down for a moment. I am glad to have the chance to read this book, as it is important to know and learn about the Holocaust more and more. The Holocaust is such a broad view of unrivaled suffering and tragedy that these memoirs and personal experiences within the book are necessary to understand the impact on the human condition that this genocidal racism had. 

I can't say more, but, I do urge each and every person to read this book, and others like it to educate yourselves on the tragedy of the Holocaust, and other genocides, so that these events are not forgotten.
