Summary: Good but quite sickening
Review: This poor woman, who saved herself by convincing a selection doctor that the captive women need a health clinic, saved many lives as she worked in the underground of the concentration camp. She details the sick "experiments" that took place there and how she cared for its poor victims if they were returned to the barracks. She also talks how she unknowningly sent her mother and older son to the "left" during the initial off train selection and physically escaped one selection group herself. She even details how she had to commit murders in order to save lives (hint: Auschwitz did not have a materinity ward). There are many details here about the holocaust. This book, though with so many movies now many events are familar, really attaches names to these occurances and makes it personal. I read this in one sitting and I don't want to read another book on the subject again. It was so sick what happened to millions of people, what they were forced to participate in, and yet mass mutilations and murder around the globe still take place.

Summary: A SHORT BOOK WITH LOT'S OF DESCRIPTION
Review: what an an amazing book! one of the best anybody could read on the holocaust subject. it is about the wife of a doctor who is imprisoned in the death camp BIRKENAU. unlike auschwitz, this camp is a death camp not a work camp where the author lives under unbearable conditions and manages to survive while watching her fellow internees give up on life. a very moving TRUE story. do not leave this book sitting on the shelf. it's a real page turner and make sure to grab a tissue!
