Narration In Favor Of Books I Escaped from Auschwitz

I have read many books on the holocaust. If I had to recommend one, it would be this one for several reasons. 1) It is very well written. Not every holocaust survivor is an author, so some books are not very well written. This one is. 2) Vrba has been in Auschwitz for close to two years and has performed very different roles and tasks. He has lived in the main camp, and in Birkenau. He has been part of different commandos. So we get a very good view on many different parts of the camp. 3) Vrba has escaped Auschwitz, which is very rare. So for that reason alone it's an interesting testimony. 4) The Vrba-Weltzer report is published in this book, along with some other interesting reads in the appendixes. 5) We get a clear view on the morbid role Jewish leaders, the Vaada and people like Kaszner have played. Instead of publishing and broadcasting the Vrba report to prevent hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews from being deported to Auschwitz, they found it necessary to try and cut a deal with Himmler to save people close to themselves. I would place this book next to Ludo Van Eck's "Het Boek der Kampen", though the latter is more factual and doesn't read like a novel.

Crit Epithetical Books I Escaped from Auschwitz

Once again here is an example of a book that was not well written but a horrifying story that sucks you in and allows you to experience things most people could never imagine. I feel it's a must read for anyone.

After visiting Auschwitz/Birkenau two weeks ago, this was the right moment to read this book. Unbelievable that this could happen. A must-read for everyone.

Excellent first hand account. I was looking for a more historical text but came across thus book in the library. I'm really glad I did. It was well written and let me see an accurate portrayal of what life was like in a concentration camp. Compelling storytelling. Really very good. Throughout recommend this!

O my god. I'm absolutely baffled by this book. I've read so many ww2 books but there were so many things I never knew before described in this book. A true hero, Rudolf Vrba.

**************************************SPOILERS*************************************************"Arbeit Macht Frei" Work will make you free. As 17 year old Rudi Vrba got off a packed cattle car in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Rudi thought I can work hard then I will be free. Little did he know that he was entering one of the most horrific places on earth.This is Vrba's account of what he faced and lived through as a Jewish teen during WWII. This book brought me to tears, at some points I wanted to scream

Every1 should read this - unbelivable

This is a remarkable story that needs to be heard whenever the world seems to be going crazy. Rudy was the first man who escaped from Auschwitz and lived to tell the tale. Unfortunately many people didn't want to believe him, but his eye-witness accounts of "The Canada stores" brought America into the second world war. After the war he became a Neuroscientist and taught at the University of British Columbia. I met Rudy in the coffee shop of Regent College bookstore in 1996 just as I was starting
