I've always had this fascination with the Holocaust ever since I read Ruth Gruener's story of how she went into hiding.

I've read Destined To Live, I am a Star, Diary of Anne Frank, Memories of Anne Frank, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (I know it's fiction but it was still really good), Someone Named Eva (also fiction) and a bunch of other diaries that were included in Stolen Voices.

But I don't think I've read anything like what I read today.

It's a 197 page book by Miklos Nyiszli, a Hungarian-Jewish doctor who was forced to work under Doctor Josef Mengele, who was deemed "The Angel of Death" because of all the experiments in the name of "science" he conducted on countless prisoners in the Auschwitz camp. He conducted these experiments mostly on dwarfs, twins, and those who were crippled. Doctor Miklos described every horror he witnessed in his entire stay at Auschwitz, as well as the other camps he was sent to after Aushwitz was closed.

I sobbed through the entire book.
