Wow

Captures your attention all the way through. Getting ready to listen to the next book.

consistent

I liked how this books facts matched facts from other accounts of the war prisoners.

A RARELY TOLD STORY

All concentration camp fiction/non-fiction concentrates on the Jews who of course were not the only people to be interned in Auschwitz and other camps. Since they were not immediately destined for extermination, political prisoners have a rather different story to tell. For anyone who has actually been to Auschwitz (in the days before it became a theme park and the ideal place to take a selfie and post on social media i.e; more than 20 years ago) the descriptions of Block 11 are indeed as harrowing as the book cover blurb promises. Not an easy read, but a very interesting one.

I enjoyed this

Very captivating - certainly not completely true to her story but adapted well into a book. The narrator did a great job.

The truth hurts

This story of Auschwitz is awful but the heroism of the captives is mesmerizing. The story of Auschwitz should never be forgotten or repeated. Great book. Beautifully narrated.
