Critics Review
Telling the story of the KL means facing up to a formidable challenge: how to make the camps relatable, as places where real people lived, worked and died, rather than transcendental symbols of evil? … [Wachsmann] proves himself equal to this challenge … thanks to Wachsmann’s skill as a writer, it manages to be much more than a doleful trudge through a universe of ever-increasing death and terror - Independent
