About this listen
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.

Perspective
This book gave me a very different perspective of Auschwitz. Especially as it was a non-Jewish viewpoint. It is very descriptive and rich in detail of a desperate situation

The ultimate account
this book covers everything and though you're with the character it really adds depth as to the sheer amount of people, humans that were exterminated by other humans. if you're going to read any book and what can happen went extremists come to power this is the book. As they start to creep into power around the globe in 2019 you can't help but think how long before this all repeats itself.

Outstanding Book
Amazing book it gives you a real insight into the horrors of auschwitz. I am blown away and believe this should be made into a film these atrocities should never be repeated so people need to be made aware of what happened at auschwitz.

Good book, bad narrator
A sad, gripping book that deserved a decent narrator rather than an American trying to do a Romanian accent. You do get used to her over the top 'Count Dracula' impression though and it's worth sticking with it because this book is excellent.

Compelling and heartbreaking
I read this book in the 1970s and always meant to re-read it. The reading of Jennifer Wydra captures perfectly the anger and redemptive spirit of the author.
