Olga Lengyel tells, frankly and without compromise, one of the most horrifying stories of all time. This true, documented chronicle is the intimate, day-to-day record of a beautiful woman who survived the nightmare of Auschwitz and Birchenau. This book is a necessary reminder of one of the ugliest chapters in the history of human civilization. It was a shocking experience. It is a shocking book.
You have done a real service by letting the ones who are now silent and most forgotten speak. — Albert Einstein
This book is more moving than earlier descriptions of the death camps because it is vividly articulated, not by a sympathetic observer, but by one of the few who survived the horror. —San Francisco Chronicle
It is a picture of utter hell. —Saturday Review of Literature
