3.Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas ChambersEyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers
from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
An outstanding account of one man's experiance. I liked the way the story was told with more of a narative perspective rather than a dramatic one. I think this allows you to feel your own emotions rather than the authors. I intend to visit soon and see it 1st hand. May we never forget.

4.A Romantic EducationA Romantic Education
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Being of eastern European descent, I found Hampl's book revealing and intriguing as it spoke of what my grandparents often alluded to when referring to "the old country."
I felt myself travelling with her, trying to find out something, anything, about my roots.

from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
Being curious about Central European history, I went ahead and read this book despite the mixed reviews on Amazon. After reading it, I do tend to agree with some of the reviewers and feel a bit disappointed. It being written by a non-historian does detract from its value. In addition, a troublesome... more info
