Publisher Description
Olga Lengyel tells, frankly and without compromise, one of the most horrifying stories of all time. This true, documented chronicle is the intimate, day-to-day record of a beautiful woman who survived the nightmare of Auschwitz and Birkenau. This book is a necessary reminder of one of the ugliest chapters in the history of human civilization. It was a shocking experience. It is a shocking book.
“... Thank you for your very frank, very well written book. You have done a real service by letting the ones who are now silent and most forgotten speak ...With best regards and wishes, — A. Einstein.”
“This book is a horrifying, but necessary, reminder of one of the ugliest chapters in the history of human civilisation. Passionate, tormenting’”—New York Herald-Tribune
“It is a picture of utter hell”—Saturday Review of Literature
Customer Reviews
Stunningly Brutal
What is your worst fear and greatest nightmare? Whatever it is, the internees at German concentration camps experienced it. The sheer volume of horrific tortures and degradations made this book inevitably relatable as I put myself in her shoes. Read it.
HARD TO READ....HARDER TO BELIEVE....
Very compelling and a must read book for everyone including the non-believers....
Where was God?
I can barely get through the 24 hour fasting at the Yom Kippur Holiday...
I do not think I could of survived..
How anyone survived is not a miracle, it's a testament to the courage and the tremendous will of people to endure and deliver testimony to the world that human beings can be the cruelest of all animals....
Horribly fantastic
Such a sad story but I was sucked in from the start
