Summary: A Powerful Story of Survival
Comment: This is an extremely well written book, setting forth in glaring detail the horrors of daily life at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Rudolf Vrba survived almost two years as a prisoner in this extermination camp, and witnessed almost every aspect of the its operation. Here he details his capture, day-to-day survival, and eventual escape. This is both a horrifying eye-witness account of one of humankind's most evil undertakings and a testament to the spirit of survival that allowed a few to escape certain death.

This book is not for the faint of heart, as it does not shy away from the brutal and shocking truth of Auschwitz. At the same time the writing is compelling, and I found it extremely difficult to put it down. This book transported me to the concentration camp in a way no other book ever has. While it does not provide any insights into the roots of the Halocaust, it does illuminate its horrifying consequences.

Summary: Horrifying, mesmerizing story
Comment: I concur with others who claim this book changed their life. I read this book in high school in the mid 60s, and in my small Iowa town, where no Jews live, I became familiar with a minority that had borne unspeakable horror. Mr. Vrba was a teenage Slovak Jew that was deported from his country. In a series of almost miraculous events, he was able to secret himself and escape after nearly 3 years in this death camp. This book is blunt and gripping in its reality, and yet I felt that it was probably worse than he reported. It gave me a morbid awareness, that these unspeakable acts should never be forgotten (or forgiven)in the hope that in the telling they will never recur. I highly recommend this book to those who don't believe the awfulness of the Nazi "Final Solution" because this will open their eyes.
