A nurse and a night reader.

This is a factual and relatively emotional account of one persons quest to find answers not only to his own family historics, but also the atrocities of genecide itself. When looking for answers, one almost always finds more than they are looking for.

Very dense

I'm reading the book right now. It is very dense and hard to read; almost like going through the jungle. The story continues to build and it is *slowly* sucks you in so that you want to hear the story. I do feel an obligation to read this book as I did not have any family members perish in the holocaust -- this is my way of trying to appreciate what others experienced.

Could not get through

Obviously, many people love this book, including the amazon reviewers. I have read great quite a bit of the Holocoaut literature.
