The hor­ror that camp sur­vivors suf­fered and wit­nessed com­pels many to write tes­ti­monies as a way of com­mu­ni­cat­ing the agony and tragedy to those who know lit­tle or noth­ing about the Shoah. This book of two-page chap­ters takes you through every­thing that any wit­ness has ever report­ed, I would think, plus the ago­niz­ing deci­sions one might make, or made, in response to the ​“Russ­ian roulette” offered by the Nazis. Were they tricks? Did they lead to even worse con­di­tions, to death? Despite all this, Mietek Wein­traub was still seek­ing God: ​“Sure­ly our Mer­ci­ful God will act now and pro­tect us from this evil so that we can sus­tain our ever­last­ing trust in Him on our fate­ful arrival.” Do I sus­pect sar­casm? At some point I began to won­der if this was a nov­el, not tes­ti­mo­ny, but the pho­tos con­vinced me that this vol­ume is entire­ly fac­tu­al. Appen­dix, photos.
