This is the incredible true story of a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz Birkenau who escapes to tell the world what was happening there.
Only a quarter through but absolutely compelling.
Written by the Guardian writer Jonathan Freedland and published recently.
For some reason I've long been fascinated by this awful subject , from childhood and the TV series Holocaust and even "Belsen Was a Gas".
Frankly I don't think humanity will ever recover from this completely. The enormity and depravity of it.
I feel traumatised and I'm only reading about it.
But we cannot ignore it.
