This book was so informative and it really helped you understand just how horrifying the things US soldiers saw were. The inhumane treatment of Jews, POWs, and political enemies of the Nazi regime is horrifying. This book is a great narrative of recollections of people who saw the barbaric conditions firsthand when liberating the camp. This book contributes to an important category of non-fiction and helps put the holocaust denying to bed.
