I am so drained after reading this. Such an important book but so incredibly difficult.

4.0

Clearly a very personal and haunting story. I had known of this book for a while and I'm glad to have finally read it. For a firsthand account of the horrors of the holocaust, I'd recommend this book but really review the content warnings first. Seeing his attitudes towards Palestine in the epilogue is more haunting.

Very intense story about the holocaust. Reads very quickly but mostly because it’s really good.
