Every book I’ve read about Auschwitz has been deeply upsetting. Apart from this book. This book is so emotionless that it reads more like a reference book or a history text book. It is upsetting but it portrays the atrocities so badly that I felt very detached from what I was reading. It was interesting to read the extent of the Jewish Resistance but again I felt like I was in a history lesson. Having read so many books about the subject that were full of emotion and portrayed the atrocities so well I feel quite let down by this book.
