AUSCHWITZ

"Yet, my little Diary, I don’t want to die, I still want to live." Eva Heyman, a 13-year-old Jewish girl, wrote these words in her last diary entry in the spring of 1944. Soon after, she was deported and murdered at Auschwitz. During the Holocaust, the Nazis murdered more than one million people at Auschwitz. The largest of all the Nazi camps, Auschwitz was both a death camp and a forced labor camp. This book examines this place of unspeakable horror from the perspective of those who experienced it, from the construction of the camp to its final days.
