I Was A Doctor in Auschwitz - Tapa blanda

Dr. Perl wrote skillfully and with clarity of the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. Auschwitz was pergatory and Bergen Belsen was hell. She told it just as it was with very little digression into unrelated subject matter. As Matt stated in his review...she writes as a surgeon, always cutting to the core of the story she had to relate. I must agree that this is one of the very finest books I've read by a survivor, albeit there are a great many. The many very talented and wonderful women that fought to live and failed in their quest will break your heart. Dr. Perl tells of the spirits of these women and the great loss to the world of the multitudes of talented and wonderful people put to death by these butchers. The book was reprinted in 1997 by Ayer Company Publishers, Inc. in North Stratford, NH, and I cannot understand why it is so difficult to find today. My most generous thanks to those who supplied me a copy of this marvelous testimony for my library. Read dear Lucille Eichengreen's book, FROM ASHES TO LIFE. It too is a valuable historical testimony. Then get ECHOES FROM AUSCHWITZ by wonderful Eva Mozes Kor, which is the story of Eva and Miriam Mozes, two of Mengele's twins. Excellent!
