Book Reviews of Five Chimneys: The Story of Auschwitz
Book Review: Five Chimneys
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a very large number of holocaust books and none are more incredible than this one. Five Chimneys gave a perspective that no other Auschwitz/Birkenau book gives...that of an educated,sophisticated woman prisoner. There are two books that stand out in my mind as far superior on this topic and this is one of the two. I couldn't lay it down. It is one of the books that will surely help us to make certain that it never happens again.Book Review: The smallest details will shock you.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of many books I have read on this topic. I was fascinated by the way the author offered even the smallest of details that deal a crushing blow to reality---such as what a prize a nearly destroyed tooth brush was....how a blob of margarine was enough to bartar to save your life. This text is vivid, conceise and offers the reader a view into the life of human beings that were treated as though they were already dead.Book Review: The best of holocaust literature..
Summary: 5 Stars
Olga Lengyel's 'Five Chimneys' is probably the most descriptive and compehensive book written on Auschwitz-Birkenau from a survivor's point of view. Many authors have written outstanding books on this subject but Lengyel's is the most moving and detailed of those books. The story is outlined by other reviewers here so I won;t get into that but simply say read it, it deserves it's 5 star rating.Book Review: The best book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Five Chimneys was the best book I've ever read on the subject of the Holocaust and believe me I've read 'em all. Olga Lengyel does a wonderful job of showing the real Auschwitz, not the Auschwitz that everyone else writes about. I have so much respect for this book and it's author because they are both amazing in evey way possible. rteccomend this book, but only if you wnat the real thing.Book Review: wow
