Summary: Deeply Moved
Comment: To imagine that humans have been treated in some of the most inhuman ways is hard to read. This book
has portrayed a time in history that we will never forget and has done it in a way that I could at
least stomach. The book was a page turner, I finished it in a day. Oprah, sure knows her books, I
usually like everyone she recomends!
Thank you!

Summary: AMAZING
Comment: It truly amazes me how one person can not only survive the holocaust but also rise above it. If you
have read The Diary of Anne Frank you must also read this

Summary: The Truth
Comment: I don't believe I have ever read such an honest accounting of one's soul - completely human and
truthful. I wanted more. I closed the book and could not sleep. The pictures went through and
through my mind. I never want to forget what I learned.

Summary: A Quick Yet Heartfelt Read
Comment: I had seen Mr. Wiesel on Oprah and was so impressed with his way with the American words, even
though he is from another land. He is a very intelligent man. To have lived through what he did
and to be yet so confused by it all is so unknown to me. He must, after all these years, still
question every day of his existence, "why me", why was I to live. The book itself is written to be
just enough information to open your eyes, but make you want to learn more about the beginnings of
many more of the people who were either survivors or not. He writes the book to help himself, but
yet I can see where it will help many others to be more compassionate. I am now reading "Dawn",
another read by Mr. Wiesel.

Summary: A powerful reminder
Comment: This book had been sitting on the same spot on my bookshelf for about 15 years. Last night i finally
decided to pick it up and see exactly what it was all about.

Three hours later I was
finished the book.

This book is beyond powerful, and leaves you with chilling images
and thoughts left in your head about what happened to millions of people across Europe only a few
generations ago.

While Weisel has managed to portray these images to us, I can obly
imagine what it was actually like to live through all of that...

Read this book as a
reminder of the realness of what happened, and to pay respect to the millions of people who died
mercilessly in Europe during the Second World War.
