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
