Comments From Other Readers If you read this author's book on the Holocaust, I would highly suggest making a purchase on this one. This goes into much more detail on one of the bigger aspects of that topic: perhaps the most famous concentration camp. Both Auschwitz I and Birkenau are covered here, with eyewitness accounts of what took place. There is no better way to learn than from the words of someone who was there. - Melinda C. (Bedford, USA) It seems wrong to say that the eyewitness parts of the book makes one feel as if they have been in the person's shoes, because for things like this, no one but them can truly know what it was like. I will say, however, that such accounts give one a greater appreciation for the bravery of those poor souls... - Lars O. (Cologne, Germany) You can read the facts about a tragedy or violent event and have a certain amount of detachment from it, but it is entirely another impact to read a personal account of such things. This book provides both a 'just the facts' approach and an equally large volume of individual perspectives. That alone is worth the buy. - Tom G. (Springfield, USA)
