I read this years ago, and it still haunts me. It is one of the most harrowing accounts of the Holocaust that I've ever read, painful and raw, but it's unflinching portayal should be read by everyone so that the history of this is never lost, and every doubter should have to read it. Well written, but not an easy read by any means.
