Ian MacMillan's Orbit of Darkness

about as visceral experience on the holocaust as you can get....I wan not prepared for the way I experienced this.

The holocaust and such industrialized murder is so overwhelming I usually am in "third person" perspective, this book made it "first person" and damn....I was not prepared mentally for it.
