About this ebook

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 Birkenau. 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.

“This book is a horrifying, but necessary, reminder of one of the ugliest chapters in the history of human civilisation. Passionate, tormenting’”—New York Herald-Tribune

“It is a picture of utter hell”—Saturday Review of Literature

Ratings and reviews

A really in-depth account of life at Auschwitz, having just visited the site, it was an extension of what I learnt there. Highly recommend. Well done to Olga on her strength and determination in exceptional circumstances.

I haven't finished the book yet, but have to say I found the pictures impressive. I don't think I've seen any of them printed anywhere else before.

I have read quite a bit about the Holocaust but until you read first hand experience you can't truely grasp what people went through. She explained everything great in this book. Hard but amazing read!
