Surviving the Camps

Sometimes we rely on our friends and customers to build our book-knowledge in some areas. When it comes to narratives of prison and death camps we turn to my old friend Vasek who has read pretty much all the books we stock on the subject, and a few more besides. It’s a genre that of course makes for painful reading but yet it’s so important and often full of surprising inspiration at mankind’s ability to survive. Here’s Vasek’s personally curated list of incredible accounts of endurance against unthinkable pain, hardship and cruelty.
