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

    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....
