Wow. I'm speechless. I'd wanted to read this for so long, and it exceeded every expectation I had. Such a raw story. Very emotional and thought-provoking. I don't understand how and why this has been banned in some places – in no way could this book ever promote n*zism in a good way. Everyone should read this; massive content warnings for everything related to the Holocaust and WW2 though. Still, very important.
