This book is about the life of a women who was taken to a Nazi concentration camp with her family. The story starts in the year 1944. Olga tells about the hardships and life of the Auschwitz camp. The camp is run by a women by the name of Irma Griese. The life of the internees of the the camps were misreable and hard. All day the internees were put to death and had to work just to stay alive. The book also tells us about the mishaps in the camp. For instence Olga was asked by man if she would have sex with him and he would give her half of his food. Even though she did not do as he wished she still did not regret her disicion. The book is a great book for people who love learning the truth about the Holocaust and the camps. I would recomend this book to anyone.
