speesh 's review for:
I have actually 'read' this twice now. Once as a paperback, and now once as an audiobook. I remember from the paperback, wondering at the way people described their lives before the Nazis came and took it all away. It seemed such a brutal shame that their fine lives, their hopes and dreams for themselves, their future and their children, was taken away. I think that since first reading this book, I've been trying to re-capture that moment in time.
I listened to this, recently then, as an audiobook. And it's different! I had no idea, but the narration is by the incomparable Andrew Sachs, and what are in the book, paragraphs transcribed, maybe edited, of the witnesses recollections, testimony, call it what you will, is actually them speaking. Obviously the author(s) have recorded or used recordings of the people giving their thoughts, their feelings, their eye-witness accounts, and for the book, transcribed them, but for this version, used them as they were given. Think a documentary, without pictures. It captured me all over again.
I won't hear a word against how powerful and concise and important and affecting this book is.
