I haven't read this since high school so I don't remember much. It was required reading at the time. Now it's probably banned. It deserves a reread. There was one line that described how one of the prisoners had to put his own father's body into the crematory oven. It's probably been 20 years since I read it, but the horror of that image has stuck with me.
