This book is one of the most heart-breaking accounts of the Nazi reign that I have ever read. The survivor of the concentration camps says that he did not cry. I want him to know that I did. The inhumane treatment of the Jews and the Polish people, along with many other nationalities, fully depicts what an insane,evil, charismatic leader can do. He and his cronies put the devil into the bodies of little German boys, who grew into SS monsters, and made a large number of German people pretend that they never knew the horrors of the camps. I have read many books about this period in history, such as QB 7, NIGHT, THE PIANIST, and THE GIRL FROM KRAHOW, but this story is the most intimate of all. Evil groups still exist, and terrorists, such as Isis are just as barbaric. This book is a wake-up and see what evil can do to good and innocent people. Everyone should read it. Alice Dennis Kennedy
The more I read about the WWII the more I want to know. This was, by far, the world's "darkest hour" and should never be forgotten.And what the millions people involved were made to suffer by the Germans should never, ever be forgiven. I am catholic and I am ashamed for the little that was done to help those affected. We cannot ever repay or amend for what they suffered.
What an awesome read...really well put together and such a shame to read of the things done to the poor souls....but a highly recommended book
I have had many friends that were in "Summer Camp" as they referred to it. They were swapped around much like the person it is talking about. The people I know often talked about the conditions and rotten food. Many of them don't join organizations now because of their experiences. I don't blame them as they were put through a lot. Much of this I don't want to talk about but the book is very accurate.
This was a good telling of his experiences in those hell holes. The narrative could be difficult to follow but that may just be me. One thing that struck me was that the author seemed to be at least a tad anti-Semitic. Not sure if this was due to the times he lived in or if it was a Catholic thing (I was raised Catholic and felt there was some anti-Semitism going on there as I got older). Regardless, these experiences need to be told if only to quash those moronic Holocaust deniers. Worth the read.
I 'enjoyed' this book as it outlined in detail the daily routine in the death camps. As a visitor to Auschwitz, you can see the displays of items, visit the sites where it all occurred, and witness the tears and sorrow of young visitors, not even born at the time, when they enter their 'showers' and imagine the horror on the faces of the victims. But as the author says, everything we see is only a record of those times; his account is that of an eye witness and tries to relay the real story. I would like to visit again having read this but I imagine it would be more 'real' for me now. Highly recommended.
I cannot describe in words the intensity of this book's content. The story is easy to read but still leaves no room for interpretation.
The author's thoughts and analysis of the behavior of the common German people during these days is worth the reading of the book. It is a clear indictment of those in denial, both military and civilian. Shame on the German people.
