The Long Night A True Story by Ernst Israel Bornstein (BKE-TLN)

Ernst Israel Bornstein had been eighteen when his world collapsed; youthful adaptability self-possession and above all, luck, combined to preserve his husk in seven work camps which might have been modeled on the sequence of Dante's circles of hell. --The Times Literary Supplement

Unless you think it would be a good thing for us to forget about the Nazi Holocaust, you should read this crucial testimony. It is a terrifying personal account of an unspeakable but clinical horror, all the more powerful for being told with remarkable self-restraint. A reminder that in the twenty-first century that we forget at our peril --Jonathan Dimbleby

Dr Bornstein is both restrained and graphic at the same time. Seen through the eyes of one man the horror is magnified and reminds us that each one of the millions had lives and hope before the Holocaust. It is about what could have been as much as what happened. This is a first-hand account, a testimony that must be handed to the next generation to treasure, respect and remember. --Rt Hon. Eric Pickles MP, the Prime Minister's Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues
