Olga Lengyel Livres

Olga Lengyel tells, frankly and without compromise, one of the most horrifying stories of all time. This true, documented chronicle is the intimate, day-to-day record of a beautiful woman who survived the nightmare of Auschwitz and Birchenau. Having lost her husband, her parents, and her two young sons to the Nazi exterminators, Olga Lengyel had little to live for during her seven-month internment in Auschwitz. Only Lengyel's work in the prisoners' underground resistance and the need to tell this story kept her fighting for survival. She survived by her wit and incredible strength. Despite her horrifying closeness to the subject, Five Chimneys does not retreat into self-pity or sensationalism. When first published (two years after World War 2 ended), Albert Einstein was so moved by her story that he wrote a personal letter to Lengyel, thanking her for her "very frank, very well written book". This book is a necessary reminder of one of the ugliest chapters in the history of human civilization. It was a shocking experience. It is a shocking book.

Estrujante relato de una sobreviviente de los campos de Auschwitz y Birkenau. Dantesca visión de cinco chimeneas arrojando el humo de la carne quemada de centenares de miles de seres humanos, entre ellos los padres y los dos hijos de la escritora. Obra sin eufemismos, crónica auténtica y documentada del sadismo organizado, de la brutalidad sistematizada, de la monstruosa promiscuidad con que se llevó a cabo el genocidio más desalmado y repulsivo de la historia. Un testimonio irrefutable de los criminales "experimentos científicos" realizados con seres humanos vivos. ¿Cómo eran y actuaban las bestias de Auschwitz y Belsen? ¿Quién fue Joseph Kramer, juzgado como el criminal número uno en el proceso de Luneburg?
