This is an incredibly hard book to read, simply from an emotional standpoint. It's a short piece, but an amazingly powerful one that should be read by everyone. The writing is blunt and does not shy away from the uncomfortable, presenting a picture of concentration camp life that is harrowing and will put the reader at the same time both disgusted by and amazed by the human spirit. It is a reminder to be vigilant, to not be complacent, and to be watchful of the world around you.
