Summary
The horrifying true story of one of the first eight men to enter Auschwitz.
Growing up in New York, Marilyn Shimon often visited her uncle in California. She saw his scars, gaped at his 31321 tattoo and listened to his horrific stories of surviving the Holocaust. However, she could not relate to the suffering he endured or understand the significance of his accounts until now.
In this grisly memoir, Marilyn resurrects Murray Scheinberg's stories of six hellish years in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The Polish Jew was one of the first eight men to enter Auschwitz, as a political prisoner in 1940, and one of the last to escape Dachau. Shockingly frank and truly harrowing, this is a gripping first-hand account of the horror and degradation of the camps, from the first day to the very last.
Critic reviews
“It is both an uplifting tale and a sorry one about human nature in the face of evil.” (Abraham H. Foxman, Anti-Defamation League)

Mans inhumanity
This was quite a gritty true story, but that said all these stories need to be told and remembered, so this can and will never be repeated.
My only criticism is the narrator is not best suited to this. I feel it should have been a male narrator, and secondly her intonation was very odd finishing quite harrowing sentences on a high note or making some of the statements a little superfluous.
Thank you to all those people who keep these testimonies alive and fresh in paire do that se might learn of man’s inhumanity to man and never repeat this horrific moment of history.

Spoilt by the narator
Spoilt by the naration. Not a patch on the harrowing suffering told in If This Is A Man by Mr Primo Levi or Five Chimneys by Olga Lengyl.

Great story of a harrowing ordeal
Great story of a harrowing ordeal. I’ve read many of these types of books yet this poor man has lived through it more than most and managed to survive. It is portrayed well and is quite a short read considering he spent more than 6 years at these camps yet it holds enough details for the reader to understand.

Important story that should be listened to.
I have a keen interest in listening to the stories of survivors of the holocaust.
This is well written, well read and gives a very strong message about survival.
I thoroughly recommend.

Awful reader
Good story line but the lady’s voice is soo irritating, she either talks really fast or really slow, I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more if it was read by someone else
