First One In, Last One Out: Auschwitz Survivor 31321

by Marilyn Shimon

Book Overview

While growing up in New York, Marilyn Shimon often visited her uncle in California. She saw his scars, gaped at his "31321" tattoo, and listened to his horrific stories of the Holocaust.

Customer Reviews

The writing diminishes what the subject went through.

The author (the subjects niece) explains that she is not a writer but promised her dying uncle she would share his story with the world. This book is reminiscent of a high school written essay as there were many typos. I do not believe this story accurately expresses what her uncle experienced but rather glazed over the entire timeline. The Holocaust is my favorite subject to read about in history and I am only sorry I spent money on this book.
