The book takes readers through Berg's time in Auschwitz, his hair’s breadth avoid­ance of Allied bombing raids, his harrowing death march out of Auschwitz to Dora, a slave labor camp (only to be placed in another forced labor camp manufacturing the Nazis V1 & V2 rockets), and his eventual daring escape in the middle of a pitched battle between Nazi and Red Army forces. Utterly frank and tinged with irony, irreverence, and gallows humor, Scheisshaus Luck ranks in importance among the work of fellow survivors Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi. As we quickly approach the day when there will be no living eyewitnesses to the Nazi's Final Solution, Berg's memoir stands as a searing reminder of how the Holocaust affected us all. ]]> 2008 3 0 false Mon Dec 21 22:36:07 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 17 11:58:34 -0700 2009 Mon Dec 21 22:36:07 -0800 2009 72722095 2491472 3930572 0814412998 9780814412992 12 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3930572.Scheisshaus_Luck_Surviving_the_Unspeakable_in_Auschwitz_and_Dora 4.54 24 Scheisshaus Luck re­counts Berg's constant struggle in the camps, escaping death countless times while enduring inhumane conditions, exhaustive labor, and near starvation.
