Description Concering Books I Escaped from Auschwitz

I have read many books on the holocaust. If I had to recommend one, it would be this one for several reasons.

1) It is very well written. Not every holocaust survivor is an author, so some books are not very well written. This one is.
2) Vrba has been in Auschwitz for close to two years and has performed very different roles and tasks. He has lived in the main camp, and in Birkenau. He has been part of different commandos. So we get a very good view on many different parts of the camp.
3) Vrba has escaped Auschwitz, which is very rare. So for that reason alone it's an interesting testimony.
4) The Vrba-Weltzer report is published in this book, along with some other interesting reads in the appendixes.
5) We get a clear view on the morbid role Jewish leaders, the Vaada and people like Kaszner have played. Instead of publishing and broadcasting the Vrba report to prevent hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews from being deported to Auschwitz, they found it necessary to try and cut a deal with Himmler to save people close to themselves.

I would place this book next to Ludo Van Eck's "Het Boek der Kampen", though the latter is more factual and doesn't read like a novel.

Comment On Regarding Books I Escaped from Auschwitz

This is an amazing story, both for it's pure memoir qualities in telling the author's history, but also in the historical impact his escape could have had and eventually did have. The author's main goal, once away from the infamous death camp, was to make sure the world was made aware of what was happening in Poland, to ensure that the over 1 million potential victims in Hungary did not suffer the fate of the millions of innocents who had already perished. He and the friend he escaped with

True Story written by the man himself.This man managed to survive inside Auschwitz about 2 years. Normally people died in around 2 months. He decided to make notes and accounts and numbers of what he witnessed and experienced inside the camp, Then the man escaped.He brought all the information he had to his country, to warn the people, but they didn't believe him at first.One of the most valuable books I read.

Riveting and heartbreaking.

Hmm. This is a difficult review to write. I gave this book 5 stars prior to reading anything else you can find out about Rudolf Vrba on the internet. Then after being awoken by my pneumonia infected husband at 5 a.m., I laid in bed thinking about what I had read and the account established within this memoir. I consider myself a bit of a Holocaust junkie, and this was different in that Vrba does not shy away from any of the atrocities committed at Auschwitz, Birkenau, or a host of other camps he

While I was reading Rudolf Vrba's remarkable memoir of survival and escape from Auschwitz (with his friend Alfred Wetzler), modern day nazis polled well in Slovakia and Germany. Vrba's testament should be a warning to us all - not to tolerate a revival nazism. Vrba was only 19 when he was incarcerated; he lived to become a professor of pharmacology in Canada. He not only escaped but also attempted to raise the alarm for Hungary's one million Jews in 1944 - before they were deported. He escaped

I heard of Elie Wiesel and I heard of Primo Levi, both survivors and writers about the Holocaust, but why had I never heard of Rudolf Vrba? Not only did Vrba survive two years in Auschwitz and not only was he one of only a handful of inmates to escape from there, but Vrba and fellow escapee Alfred Wetzler, wrote the first detailed report in April 1944 of the horrific, factory-slaughter of Jews and others, taking place at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Not only I had never heard of Vrba, but I was unaware
