It was ok

After reading the description i was expecting something a little different. I was thinking there was more from the childrens point of views and what had happened from the doctor. There was more info on the doctor than about the children.

It is necessary to experience this book. Why? One's humanity is frayed by the daily headlines. Reading what the victims of the Nazis suffered, especially by the hand of Dr. Mengele, somehow makes it more possible to try to ameliorate the suffering of those around us.
One of the better one on the subject...

Well-written book, easy to read. Actually one of the better ones about subject of Mengele and Auschwitz. No lengthy boring descriptions or statistical speculations. Just good writing mixed with moving quotes of survived victims. I've read many books about Mengele and all of them were dry and filled with assumptions. This book states simple facts supported by eyewitness accounts. A lot of times I had to put this book away to digest all the evil that was done to those poor children. Reading "Children of the Flames" is like being on the emotional roller coaster. This book will grab you by your heart and deeply move you. There are not enough words to describe the pain and suffering that happened. Very accurate account. If I could read only one book about Mengele this would be the one.
