Having lost her husband, her parents, and her two young sons to the
Nazi exterminators, Olga Lengyel had little to live for during her
seven-month internment in Auschwitz. Only Lengyel's work in the
prisoners' underground resistance and the need to tell this story
kept her fighting for survival. She survived by her wit and
incredible strength. Despite her horrifying closeness to the
subject, FIVE CHIMNEYS does not retreat into self-pity or
sensationalism. When first published (two years after World War 2
ended), Albert Einstein was so moved by her story that he wrote a
personal letter to Lengyel, thanking her for her ""very frank, very
well written book"". Today, with 'ethnic cleansing' in Bosnia, and
neo-Nazism on the rise in western Europe, we cannot afford to
forget the grisly lessons of the Holocaust. FIVE CHIMNEYS is a
stark reminder that the unspeakable can happen wherever and
whenever ethnic hatreds, religious bigotries, and racial
discriminations are permitted to exist.
