Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has read this autobiography? I read a few reviews, but I want to get your guys' take on the book.
What did you guys think overall? Also, how did you feel about the material, did it seem authentic?

I read it some years ago. He tells it pretty much like it is writing from his cell on death row. From what I understand he was the only KZ camp commander to write his memoirs. This is not a fun subject so to speak.

Just imagine what he went through psychologically while he was writing this book.
