5.0 out of 5 stars This is a major work on the Holocaust, May 26, 1998

By 

Robert B. Simmonds, Ph.D. ([e-mail]) (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I (Paperback)

Author Mathias Freese was not himself a Holocaust survivor, but you'd never know it. This is a descriptive work, a symbolic work, and a work on the moral features of the twentieth century. We see and feel and experience the day to day life of the concentration camp inmate...the horror of it all, the utter horror of it all. Yet there is a thread of life, or to life, which keeps the human being going, striving always for hope. Freese is a psychotherapist himself, one who explores the intricacies of the psyche, and in i he provides us readers with a masterwork of the mystery of what keeps us alive, and human. Read this book...you'll never see things in quite the same way again. It's a rare gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Emotionally Gripping Story, February 4, 2001

This review is from: I (Paperback)

"I" thrusts us into the mind, soul, and horror of a concentration camp prisoner. It leads us on a descriptive journey of one man's living hell, not only the external, physical hell but the gradual deterioration of the human mind. Freese brilliantly illustrates the will of a human being to survive and the strength of the human psyche. His often disturbing description makes the reader fully aware of the plight of the prisoner. "I" above all else gives the reader an intense appreciation for the freedom and comforts we have in the United States. At times it enrages the reader and makes one wonder how an evil as hideous as the holocaust was able to ever happen. This is an essential story and one that needs to be told and respected.
