Title: Good account of Auschwitz
Review: Extremely moving book. Why it stands out distinctly from the other accounts of the Holocaust is because of the technical details and description (kind of dispassionate in the style) than some of the other dramatized versions of the movies and books on the same topic.Specifically, the forward by Bruno Bettelheim has brought out some important observations w.r.t. "inertia" of the crowd to make a change or revolt against an adverse change brought by someone else. The term that he uses frequently - "business as usual" - has thrown a new light on the "passive" mentality of the crowd, and has given examples of how the "active" minds actually escaped this atrocity that time by acting in time.Second book to give me a shiver while reading after "Into thin air"!
