The Long Night

A True Story

De: Ernst Israel Bornstein

Narrado por: Ric Jerrom

The Long Night is Ernst Israel Bornstein's first-hand account of what he witnessed in seven concentration camps. Written with remarkable insight and raw emotion, The Long Night paints a portrait of human psychology in the darkest of times. Bornstein tells the stories of those who did all they could do to withstand physical and psychological torture, starvation, and sickness, and openly describes those who were forced to inflict suffering on others. The narrative is simple, yet profound; unbridled, honest, and dignified. The Long Night is the extraordinary tale of Ernst Israel Bornstein's tortuous passage through a number of Nazi camps. What he endured reminds us that there were many different experiences of the camps and that there is no single Holocaust narrative. Most of the camps to which Dr Bornstein was sent remain little known today, yet they remind us of just how widespread, vast and destructive the brutal camp system was.

With introduction from former Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ernst Israel Bornstein had been 18 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)
"Both harrowing and inspirational, The Long Night is a chilling reminder of what can happen when we fail to challenge hatred and bigotry. It should be read by anyone who believes we still have lessons to learn from the Holocaust - and anyone who doesn't." (Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP)

Another well written holocaust account

Wow. I don’t know how the survivors do it. Such good detail of the horrific times they endured. Heartbreaking. I learned a lot about the concentration camps from his stories. This book also has many details about memorials or lack of. Sad to hear he passed so young.

Outstanding!!!

This account of a young man's personal experience of the Holocaust is the most comprehensive and detailed story of what it was truly like for a Jewish survivor of the Concentration Camps. His story... as it is told in this book recounts 4 years(!) of living and moving from one Concentration Camp to another... including, his experience of the "Death March" towards the end of the war. I have never heard a story like this from any documentary or book {or even a story-based movie} that gives so much insight into the Holocaust. Even the narrator does an excellent job of telling the story and conveying the emotion of this man's feelings throughout the whole event. This book is a MUST listen if you are someone who is interested in what took place during the Holocaust. 5 Stars all the way!!!

The Best and Most Complete!!

I haved read many holocaust memoirs and literature. This is the best and most complete, as far as details, feelings, and psychological effects are concerned. I couldn't put it down. What a tremendous human being, this man was!!!!

Eye opening

Imagine the immense pain, suffering and loss. It is very well written.

I felt this story should be told and resold around the world. Let it be so...
