review 1: Un libro pesante. Non nel senso di "mattone", ma per l'argomento trattatoe per la sua crudezza espositiva.Un racconto condito da deposizioni a vari processi, che racconta ancora una volta l'orrore di Auschwitz.E quando credi di aver letto e sentito tutto, arrivano libri come questo a farti capire che mai nessun racconto, documentario o testimonianza potranno descrivere completamente la tragedia dei lager nazisti della seconda guerra mondiale.
review 2: I have always had a deep yearning to learn anything I could about WWII since I found out my great Grandfather fought in it. When I found Elie Wiesel's infamous "Night" my senior year of high school, all literature pertaining to the Jewish experience during the war became a quiet fixation. Being a privileged child... more growing up in the Southeastern US, it was hard to fathom that such monstrosities happened and that my fellow human beings were a part of it all. Reading this book has opened up a new perspective for me since it contains the transcriptions from the Frankfurt trials. I enjoyed reading Schlesak's artful blending of the fictional storyline with Adam and the horrible reality of narratives from victims and SS alike. This book tries to help us understand the actions of humankind, and to comprehend the horrific justifications that we are capable of. less
