I am a avid reader of anything to do with holocaust. This was one of the most chilling books I have read concerning that time. In fact, I almost didn't post it because I couldn't decide if I really wanted to get rid of it. It's that factual and mind-bending. Several pages of pictures too.

Written in first-person AND third-person. Very interesting look into the mind of this monster and the results through the testimonies of those who survived his "medical science".

This book is beyond comprehension. These poor children had to endure so much to survive and to amuse Menegele, I can't bring myself to call him a doctor since he failed to follow his hippocratic oath. This book is well written and an easy read. The subject matter is troubling, let us pray that this never, ever happens again. Never forget.
