review 1: Shlomo Venezia... un sopravvissuto ai campi di sterminio, che fece parte per diversi mesi del sonderkommando (la squadra, di prigionieri ebrei, che lavorava all'interno dei "crematoi") del pi� grande e tristemente famoso lager nazista... Sappiamo tutti quello che � successo l� dentro... e se non lo sappiamo possiamo immaginarlo. Ma leggere la testimonianza diretta di una persona che quegli orrori li ha vissuti sulla propria pelle, � decisamente un'altra cosa... Libro triste, toccante, da leggere assolutamente. Fosse per me, renderei obbligatorio leggere certi libri alle superiori... chiss�, magari servirebbe a riportare sul mondo reale certi giovani minchioni che si trovano in giro... Consigliatissimo.
review 2: The harrowing story of Shlomo Venezi
... morea is told in a factual, matter-of-fact voice. It was difficult for me to read this because it had so many similarities to the stories that my mother told me, e.g., her arrival at Auschwitz from the Lodz Ghetto and being severely beaten when separated from her mother who was sent directly to the gas chamber. It is testimony of man's inhumanity to man as well as the will to live regardless of how horrendous life had become. Not an easy book to read but well worth it. less
