Michelangelo in Ravensbruck: One Woman's War Against the Nazis, by Karolina Lanckoronska The book worthy of recommendation in my opinion. "My memoir is meant to be a report -- and only a report -- of what I witnessed during the Second World War. I know that others have lived through a great deal more than myself. I was never in Auschwitz or Kazakhstan. Nevertheless, I also know that every first-hand account contributes fresh detail to the picture of those years." (from the book's prologue)
