I really enjoyed this book. I think it didn't really occur to me that there were prison camps and work camps that people were still confined to. That seems so entirely primitive to me. The backbreaking labor and the starvation that so many people are forced into is distressing, to say the least. The fact that people are tortured and people look the other way and walk on by is equally distressing. At this point in the history of the world, humanity should be a little more civilized, but we simply aren't. I hope that more people are able to get out of these situations and tell their stories so that a change could possibly occur.
