A quick to read, yet still heartwrenching memoir about life in a concentration camp during World War II. The author shares his painful memories of his life as a teenager during one of the darkest periods in history, when he was in a living Hell. He recounts how quickly his life changed from that of a normal, very pious young Jewish teenager to that of a prisoner in a concentration camp, his last times seeing his parents and little sister, and how drastically life in the camps tore him down and changed who he was and how he thought.

This book isn't easy to sit and read, but it is well worth doing so. Written by a Nobel Peace Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner, it is very much a devastating but essential book. An Oprah's Book Club selection, it should be read by everyone who didn't live through it.
