Last Stop Auschwitz: My Story of Survival from Within the Camp by Eddy de Wind

Thank you to the publisher for a gifted copy of this impactful book.

It feels trite to give a star rating to someone's life story, especially one of this magnitude. I think books like this one, Night by Elie Wiesel, and Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl should be required reading for all people. As we move farther away from this time in history and our lives become more and more privileged, this book and other stories like it can help to ground us. It makes one realize how easy our lives truly are, how insignificant our problems tend to be in the grand scheme of things.

There are parts of this book that will forever be burned in my brain. The suffering of the prisoners in Auschwitz is truly so unfathomable.
