In my very early 20s I read this work and an unrelated collection of interviews which had a very similar title. I can't find the book of interviews anymore, but I did prefer the variety and depth of multiple interviews covering the topic. Maybe I didn't want to find meaning in a death camp. Maybe th...
I read a lot of books about WWII, mostly non-fiction. I sometimes feel the need to apologise for this to others when we come to that topic, because it may seem perverse. My family isn't Jewish or German and even though my families live so close to the German border that soldiers marched through thei...

Great book, giving us insight to the horrors of concentration camps, the existential crises that faced those who suffered through them, and a glimmer of hope at the end. A Classic.
