This is about a 16 year old’s survival in Auschwitz and should be read by every single person at least once in their lives. The two forwards alone broke my heart. The story is told very matter of factly - no embellishing, no coddling. Just very straight forward. 

“Never shall I forget that night….
“Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the faces of the children……
“ Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith, forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”

And never should we forget.


I did add trigger warnings. But this is after all, a history of Mr. Wiesel and his imprisonment at Auschwitz. This is suitable for a teenager to read, say 13/14+ with guidance. After all a 15/16 year old lived it.
