Lengyel Olga - Öt kémény - Egy auschwitzi túlélő igaz története

Five Chimneys is the account of Olga Lengyel, an operating-room assistant from Kolozsvár, who was deported with her family to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. She was the only one of them to survive and return. The book is one of the earliest and most authentic documents of the Holocaust.

With candid detail, the author reveals the everyday horrors of the camp, the struggle to endure and the acts of resistance. Working in the camp infirmary, she helped those in need while also taking part in the work of a secret underground movement.

Written down after her liberation, these memories expose not only the barbarity of the Nazis but also the strength of human dignity and perseverance. The book serves as an enduring reminder for future generations.
