Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It really openend my eyes as to just how horrible and inhumane Auschwitz really was.

This book was amazing in what the story has to tell to the entire world. I had an idea of much of what had happened in the Holocaust as I am currently researching the topic, but nevertheless when I picked up this book it had me riveted. This is such a heart-wrenching novel about a topic that can be considered horrific in the very least.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the Holocaust, or even to those who feel that they have done plenty of study already.

An interesting testimonial about life in Auschwitz that gives a rare glimpse at what happened from the perspective of a camp inmate. The introduction is rather scathing, but the book itself is a matter-of-fact account of his daily life. A worthwhile read. Incredibly enlightening.

Although, it is a horrific account of the terrors of Auschwitz, it is worth the read. I finished this book in a day.

The problem with this book is that it thrusts a very negative and dark side of life into all that read it. Of course the book carries factual data that needs to be known- but we all must be careful about how obsessed we become with the darkness of humanity. Reading books like this keep the holocaust with us. We continue to persecute ourselves every time we re-live the sadness and desperation that these people were forced to undergo. Their monstrous deeds continue. It is good to know what happened. In the end though, we must let it go and live happily.
