Reviews
"One of the most powerful European testimonies to come from the women's lager at Auschwitz-Birkenau." --Primo Levi, "This Italian testament has both polish and poetry and strong images of suffering barely borne, but more indelibly it serves as a particular focus into the specially female hell of the camps." -- Kirkus Reviews
