Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-29 00:00:00 Janet Lee didn\'t read it completely but the passages I read were very interesting. putting aside my horrible judgement about puritans, this journal was full of weird cases (however true or untrue they may be) and it made me curious to see what happened then. granted some of them were downright cruel or stupid but their approach were worth reading.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-03 00:00:00 Tim Williams This was a charming little book, and had many stories I\'d never heard of. Also the personal owl-watching stories were neat.

Review # 3 was written on 2015-01-10 00:00:00 Gonzalo Solario Jr Can't put dates in as my iPhone bug shows I'm living in the year 2558! No easy feat to find current year. Oddly it has taken me back as far as the 1600's! Wonder what their cell phones were like??

Review # 5 was written on 2015-03-08 00:00:00 Alex Koehler The kind of books that make you wonder about the police that protect you. I love the Bosh character and Michael Connelly knows how to keep you hanging until the end

Review # 6 was written on 2021-05-06 00:00:00 Eran Zamir A short 100 page read that concisely describes the horrors of Auschwitz. The insane thinking behind the building and operation of the camp is aptly captured. The horror is that the genocides have continued in Cambodia, Rwanda and the Sudan. It seems history is doomed to repeat itself.

Review # 7 was written on 2016-11-05 00:00:00 Jay Peters This is certainly one of the best (and certainly the most important) book that I will read this year. The writing contained within this slight 103 page text was compelling, insightful and absolutely horrifying in what it detailed. There will never be a time when this account of the horrors of Auschwitz will not be important. Before beginning the Kingdom of Auschwitz I thought I knew a lot about that death camp, about Holocaust. But there was so much I didn't know, or had never fully comprehended

Review # 8 was written on 2007-06-20 00:00:00 Diane Hall This is certainly one of the best (and certainly the most important) book that I will read this year. The writing contained within this slight 103 page text was compelling, insightful and absolutely horrifying in what it detailed. There will never be a time when this account of the horrors of Auschwitz will not be important. Before beginning the Kingdom of Auschwitz I thought I knew a lot about that death camp, about Holocaust. But there was so much I didn\'t know, or had never fully comprehended. This is a powerful book, an important book, and frighteningly necessary in 2019 - 74 years after the evacuation and liberation of Auschwitz. \"None of us can approach Auschwitz... without all the intellectual and spiritual burdens that we carry with us. We see Auschwitz and we judge Auschwitz according to the way we see and judge the human race, and life, and God.\"

Review # 9 was written on 2019-06-28 00:00:00 Jeffrey Gill This little book describes life and death in only one of the Nazi death camps, but it was perhaps the worst of them. If you think you have read of the worst atrocities, The Kingdom of Auschwitz may convince you otherwise. I don't recommend it for everyone, because even if you have a strong stomach, you might still have nightmares after reading it. I recently purchased a large lot of books which includes many volumes about the Holocaust. I'm reading them so that when I feel that life has given me

Review # 10 was written on 2011-11-20 00:00:00 George Wasilyeff This little book describes life and death in only one of the Nazi death camps, but it was perhaps the worst of them. If you think you have read of the worst atrocities, The Kingdom of Auschwitz may convince you otherwise. I don\'t recommend it for everyone, because even if you have a strong stomach, you might still have nightmares after reading it. I recently purchased a large lot of books which includes many volumes about the Holocaust. I\'m reading them so that when I feel that life has given me sorrows and pains and disappointments, I will realize how insignificant they truly are. This should be required reading for our children and grand-children and great-grand-children so that civilization will NEVER FORGET and NEVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

Review # 11 was written on 2020-07-25 00:00:00 Mohammed Adam Auschwitz è Auschwitz. Tutti sanno che tipo di campo di concentramento fosse. Chi entrava lì sapeva, lo dava per certo, che non ne sarebbe mai uscito vivo. Otto Friedrich, però, mette nero su bianco tutte le torture, le angherie, i soprusi e le barbarie che accadevano lì dentro. Descrive minuziosamente ogni angolo, ogni struttura, ogni capanno e ogni stanza, tanto che ad un certo punto sembra di essere lì dentro con loro. Un resoconto drammatico, crudo e ahimè vero di un lagher nazista. Una nota "ne

Review # 12 was written on 2019-11-14 00:00:00 Richard Prince Auschwitz è Auschwitz. Tutti sanno che tipo di campo di concentramento fosse. Chi entrava lì sapeva, lo dava per certo, che non ne sarebbe mai uscito vivo. Otto Friedrich, però, mette nero su bianco tutte le torture, le angherie, i soprusi e le barbarie che accadevano lì dentro. Descrive minuziosamente ogni angolo, ogni struttura, ogni capanno e ogni stanza, tanto che ad un certo punto sembra di essere lì dentro con loro. Un resoconto drammatico, crudo e ahimè vero di un lagher nazista. Una nota \"negativa\", secondo me, è che in tutta questa descrizione è mancato il sentimento. Volutamente? Involontariamente? Sta di fatto che alla fine è solo un lungo resoconto analitico.

Review # 13 was written on 2021-03-24 00:00:00 Brian Schumacher Concise but detailed book about Auschwitz that everyone should read in order to have a full picture of "life" in the death camp. Although it is a short book, it is not a quick read. The author's note on the sources used for writing this book suggests some further - and indispensable - readings on the matter.

Review # 15 was written on 2020-02-12 00:00:00 James Smith Sicuramente è il libro più breve che io abbia letto sull'argomento, nonostante ciò l'ho trovato estremamente dettagliato, preciso e arricchente. Una breve pubblicazione le cui parole restano impresse nella mente a lungo.

Review # 17 was written on 2018-09-21 00:00:00 KIMBERLY OVIEDO Very harrowing and heartbreaking to read. The details are written in vivid manner, almost as if you could have been there.

Review # 18 was written on 2021-04-05 00:00:00 Ryan Schweitzberger Short but effective. A really great glimpse into the authoritarian regime and its inner workings. Filled with subtle descriptions of the ironies and horrors during the camps.

Review # 19 was written on 2017-10-18 00:00:00 Anton Schrama What a powerful book! Though very short, it struck my heart with blunt facts.

Review # 20 was written on 2019-03-27 00:00:00 Robin Dimiceli I really enjoyed reading this book. The only thing I have to say is if you don't like reading strictly facts, I wouldn't recommend reading this book.

Review # 21 was written on 2017-03-14 00:00:00 Andy Johnson Lettura doverosa

Review # 22 was written on 2021-01-31 00:00:00 Rene Steffensen Deeply touching revelation. This should never ever be repeated again in any form whatsoever.

Review # 23 was written on 2018-12-06 00:00:00 Benjamin Guyer Definitely my favorite memoir I read this semester!

Review # 24 was written on 2016-12-02 00:00:00 Kevin Wiswniewski Of all the literature I have read on Auschwitz, this may have been the shortest, but it was the broadest in terms of disclosing the roots, history and back story of how Auschwitz came into existence. Additionally, the author paints a painfully detailed recount of life and death for those who found themselves behind the barbed wire death camp. The images the author conjures are haunting and horribly vivid, but it's an important part of history that will soon have no living survivors to testify as

Review # 25 was written on 2012-12-06 00:00:00 Louise Franklin I took a break from all the fiction I've been reading to read this book. I had some spare time at work and thought it could be useful the next time I teach about the holocaust. The book is not very long, I was able to read in a few hours. It is well written, informative, easy to follow and interesting, although obviously heartbreaking and depressing at the same time. It is very readable for a nonfiction account, I learned a lot, and I think I could actually use portions of it with my students to

It is very readable for a nonfiction account, I learned a lot, and I think I could actually use portions of it with my students to help them learn about the holocaust.

Review # 27 was written on 2009-08-03 00:00:00 Paul Hasselberg Ah, this is hard to read, as it should be... we are traveling to Auschwitz this fall and this was on the recommended book list. It is short (100 pages) and gave me enough of the flavor of what happened there and the organization of the camp, that I feel my experience of going there will be enhanced. It is not a current book, but the history unfortunately doesn't change so it is entirely relevant today.

Review # 29 was written on 2014-08-22 00:00:00 Brian Meadows I visited Auschwitz earlier this month, and this is an excellent companion to the visit. I recommend reading this before you visit. Even if you're not planning a visit, it's an excellent (though difficult) historical read.

Review # 31 was written on 2015-06-20 00:00:00 Andrew Godbee Friedrich notes his sources in the last few pages of the book, but a lack of citations throughout the book make it difficult to know where he got his information. It is still a brief and interesting read on Auschwitz II.

Review # 32 was written on 2013-01-26 00:00:00 Timothy Ceska For a book with less than 200 hundred pages, it is packed with facts about Auschwitz. It's remarkable how vast this camp one. If you are interested in WWII or you are looking to expand your knowledge, this is a great place to start.

Review # 33 was written on 2014-05-21 00:00:00 James M. Keane This acid whisper will always be personally linked with a short story by Cortazar. Destiny assumes a more moribund posture in this context.

Review # 34 was written on 2012-03-18 00:00:00 Isaac Hackett This book opened my eyes to whole new facts I did not know. I thought I knew a lot about Auschwitz, this books showed me I was wrong.

Review # 35 was written on 2016-01-31 00:00:00 Kathleen G Dreusike Great book about Auschwitz; quotes from many other books/memoirs in this book.

Review # 36 was written on 2012-05-29 00:00:00 devlin j barrilleaux One of several books that I donated to the C.A.N.D.L.E.S. Holocaust Museum for their on site Library of Holocaust books. The cover photo never fails to put tears in my eyes.

Review # 37 was written on 2014-01-13 00:00:00 Gilda Alarcon Almost impossible that a book this small contains all of the horror of the most evil place in history, but it does....

Review # 38 was written on 2008-10-03 00:00:00 Todd Grover Profound. Very good.
