This book is an absolutely heart shattering, gut wrenching journey through the eyes of holocaust survivor. I read this book after meeting a holocaust survivor and let me tell you, you will not want to put this book down until it is done, and then you will cry or stare into the void. It contains descriptions I will never forget.

It's an unbelievably dark tale told that feels like it belongs in horror fiction when you describe it or think about it, and yet it was real and lived by millions.

Haunting, and Incredibly moving.

Immensely important book. Doesn't mean it's a fun read, doesn't mean it's written particularly well. It's direct, it's clear, it's in your face about what it wants to say.
