Read Online A Detail Of History Prepared By Arek Hersh Released As Digital

account of a Polish Hewish boy during the Holocaust, He waswhen he was first sent to a work camp, He amazingly made it through this horrible period of time including several concentration camps and death marches, He tells of what life was like for him before the war too and it was interesting to see how he lived, At times it seemed the timing of the story was off or it would jump from one account/event to another, but still a very illustrative book of life during the Nazi regime.
A heart wrenching tale of one mans struggle to survive against brutal inhumanity, degradation and the worst behaviour

that mankind has ever witnessed, Disclaimer: While I aim to be unbiased, I received a copy of this for free to review,

This book is effectively Hershs memoirs of persecution from the holocaust, and so its an incredibly interesting and heartwarming read, The author even included some photographs, which help to bring the story to life, Of course, the holocaust is something that we should never forget, and so any book which details a survivors experience is automatically likely to score high.


That said, the editing is of a high quality, and the book does look and feel professional, Id hate to feel as though it was printed by a vanity press, because with something as unique as this, it really does deserve appropriate treatment and respect.
Luckily, I think that Hersh has done the subject justice, and his family would have been proud, Hes doing lots of good work, and this is a great example of it, I had the privilege of seeing Arek give an emotionally charged talk during my undergraduate days a few years ago, I bought a copy of his book, which he kindly signed for me, It's been on my 'to read' pile for all these years but I have finally got round to reading it, It's fantastically written and honest to the point of visceral uncomfortableness, His tale of lucky survival should be on all school reading lists I'll definitely be recommending this to my older students, A beautiful and inspiring story that will stay with me forever, It made me realise that, In the grand scheme of things, my life really isn't that bad,
Having met Arek a few times now and having watched the DVD of his experience, I truly feel like this book best encapsulates and details the horrors of his life and all he experienced.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about the Holocaust as it is very accessible and a truly personal account Arek's account of his survival.
Thanks to God for his courage and witness, A truly fascinating story one which everybody should read! Arek's account of his childhood from agetois beyond anything any one of us could imagine.
To live his 'childhood' is to stand as a witness to one of the worst crimes in history, From life in German occupied Poland, through a work camp, the Lodz ghetto, and then 'liquidation' to Auchwitz Birkenau, his tale of survival in the face of constant terror and brutality is almost impossible to believe.
He tells his story in a simple, matter of fact way, that enables the reader to see directly into his memories, The fact of his survival is incredible, but as you read his story, you realise that he survived through making his own luck, through his own ingenuity, and because he learned at a very early age to face the reality of just how bad the Nazis were.
When he andof his fellow orphans were being shipped from Lodz to Auchwitz, he knew not to believe in tales of resettlement, and paid attention to the sorting process when on the platform at their dread destination.

As an aside, I think this book would make a very interesting companion to 'A Long Way Gone', as both are accounts of children forced to grow up before their time due to the brutality of war.
