By Chance Alone: A Remarkable True Story of Courage and Survival at Auschwitz by Max Eisen

5.0

This is a MUST READ. I’d never heard of this book until my book club had presented it as our next read - and now I am so thankful. Such a sad reminder of the past. I felt the fear in Max’s story and the love from his family. I felt his gratitude for the many people who supported him throughout his survival. I gasped at the tortures bestowed upon innocent Jews, cried with Max, and cheered on his triumphs. His story was brave. I can’t imagine having lost what he lost. I HIGHLY recommend this read. It is a needed reminder for all of us to speak out against discrimination.
