Why read it?
1 author picked This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The most engaging, genuine, soul-crushing, holocaust/concentration camp book I’ve ever read and I’ve read them all. And read his bio, too.

From Jack's list on what drives us to survive and keeps souls alive.
