To uncover the fate of the thousands being interred at a mysterious Nazi camp on the border of the Reich, a young Polish resistance fighter named Witold Pilecki volunteered for an audacious mission: intentionally get captured and transported to the new camp to report back on what was going on there. But gathering information was not his only task: he was to execute an attack from inside - where the Germans would least expect it. The name of the camp was Auschwitz.

It is impossible to hear of the atrocities of Auschwitz without being. Forced to consider man’s infinite cruelty

An Honorable Life
Revisado: 08-07-19
This book has so many features of the horror of Auschwitz from an eye witness who put himself at risk to warn the world. A world that didn’t listen. The narrator is able to pronounce all of the names (German, Polish, Russian) and make listening to the horror tolerable. I was born in 1943. The atrocities are well documented in hindsight and I am familiar with the history of them. This man was there to witness and document the beginning and evolution of the horror in a futile attempt to stop it. It is a cautionary witness that the world needs to be aware of.

Southern Through and Through
Revisado: 08-02-15
Any additional comments?
My southern roots go back at least seven generations. I have family scattered over most of the southern states. They are as different as can be depending on what area of the south they are in. I found the author's descriptions to be pretty accurate on the varying parts of the south that she was in. Although I usually prefer to read books rather than listen to them, I found Lee Ann Howlett's narration very easy to listen to. Her style doesn't detract from the story. Her voice is easy on the ear.
