Inspiring, humbling......... August 11, 2008
Buy this book is all I can say, I have read many books on the holocaust, and life within the concentration camps, and 'Five Chimneys' is one well worth reading......... it will stay with you forever, I also highly recommend 'Is this a man' by Primo Levi. God Bless all the survivors, and all those who died such tragic deaths, under such unbelievable, hellish circumstances. It certainly puts ones life into perspective!
A True Story of Courage,Terror, and Inhuman Behaviour March 21, 2008
Olga Lengyel went through hell and to survive and write such a clear and vivd account is fantastic. The suffering and torture that people went through and in the most disgusting of conditions must not be allowed to happen again.
Her book is a very vivd account and what all readers must do is not to allow a holocaust to repeat itself again. Millions of people suffered and died. We must all make sure that what happend is not forgotten and does not every happen again. That way they will not have suffered and died for nothing. You must read this book.
the true story of holocaust survival November 26, 2007

having read this book some 15 to 20 years ago, i was very deeply moved by some of the pieces in the book, the story of olga sending her children to one side of the line at the railway staion only to find later that she had actually sent them to the gas chamber indeed almost brought me to tears then!
also the account of the amount of people compared to the cattle that were herded in to the cattle trucks was very destressing
i could almost tell the story of the top of my head but thats up to other people to find out them selves
Also having watched the BBC2 documentery the World at war about the holocaust,( which only scratched the surface compared to this book )i cannot rate this book any higher than the 5 stars this site allows
BUY IT, READ IT, BUT NEVER FORGET IT!

Another one of those books that 'should' be read, why? because someone wanted to survive simply to tell their tale. A story that the world wasn't meant to know. Apart from that it makes for compulsive reading and will make your present woes seem fairly insignificant.
