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

4.0

Difficult and important read. How Max could retell and essentially relive his horrific experiences I don’t know. I do know Thai is an important book. Max definitely did what his father asked of him (as his father was walked off to be experimented on in the camps) - “if you survive you must tell the world what happened here”.

We cannot forget.

As Max said in the Epilogue, “I have a great deal of concern for humanity should a supremacist ideology take hold again. It will be a threat to our way of life and our freedom”.
