Book Reviews of Five Chimneys: The Story of Auschwitz
Book Review: "It must never be allowed to happen again!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Olga Lengyel's story is extraordinarily heartbreaking and powerful, but I think the book would have been even more effective and much easier to read if she had told her entire story from beginning to end in order instead of jumping around so much.
That small complaint aside this book should still be mandatory reading by anybody who has at least a little bit of humanity in them. Be warned though, Olga does not sugarcoat anything. I had to stop reading on more than one occasion cause I felt sick or thought I was going to cry.
Also read "The Painted Bird" by Jerzy Kosinski.
