Powerful story of Eva and Miriam Mozes, who were taken to Auschwitz and experimented on by Mengele. They survived. The storytelling style of this book, written as a collaboration between Kor and writer Danica Davidson, is stark, almost numb, and is a remarkably effective communication of events that are so inhumane as to be hard to believe. Eva's extraordinary will to survive and her furious inner life underpin the litany of terrible experiences, and give the memoir life. I love that this book speaks to survival on a physical level, but also, later, to how Eva came to better mental health and a place of healing.

I'm annoyed that the cover currently only lists Kor as the author, but I really appreciate the collaboration between Davidson and Kor is discussed extensively and openly both before and after the main text.
