    Hi, nice to meet you! Thanks for the note. You asked what I liked about “We Were in Auschwitz”. It is awful to say that I liked it, ‘cos no one is supposed to LIKE that kind of book, right? But I like to book because it is provoking and it forces you to think the insanity this human kind is able to fall in. The book is raw in its honesty - the writer reveals himself no matter how obnoxious his behavior or thoughts or deeds were. You know what I mean? And in the end the book is a bit scary and oppressive, ‘cos you can’t avoid wondering if that all really happened. And in the end you know it all really happened. Not to one person but millions!

    I want to read about the Spanish Civil War and saw you have The Battle for Spain on your shelf. Would you recommend it? or another?
