Customer Reviews

Damaged book

So disappointed. Almost every page had red or black circles around sentences. Some had whole paragraphs circled each sentence in red. Very upset

👏 amazing

One of the most touching stories I've read to date.

Wonderfully Written

Jacobs captures the hardships of life under Nazi Occupation in terms anyone can understand.A wonderful text which gives people an inside look at life in the concentration camps,a must read for anyone who ever thought of holocaust victims as individuals rather than a statistic.

Magnificent Book

This book is magnificent. It is one of the most human accounts of the Holocaust. It is exciting, tragic, triumphant, and beautifully written. A must-read.
