- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Written shortly after the Holocaust, Olga Lengyel tells the world how she survived the atrocious conditions of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Olga's husband, a well-known Doctor was arrested for alleged anti-Nazi policies. Reassured by German soldiers, Olga, her parents sand two young sons decided to accompany him to Germany. Placed into a crowded train, they quickly realized the error they had made.Olga writes in a detached way, presenting her story in an unemotional and therefore ineffectual fashion. The conditions of the concentration camp, although horrible, do not completely resonate through her writing style. I would have liked to read more about her involvement with the resistance movement and her interactions in the infirmary.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one woman's first-hand account of life at Birkenau and Auschwitz. While imprisoned there, she made it her goal to survive, explicitly to tell the world about the atrocities perpetuated by the Nazis. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in true accounts of the Holocaust.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5People may nitpick, argue over what was real or not, but this book FIVE CHIMNEYS is the true story as seen through one womans eyes. AUSCHWITZ. The word alone stirs up fear ! I would think that the words and the reality would churn up your emotions....i would think that as a survivor it would be necessary to close off that part of your life. To dwell on it, to live it over and over would be emotional torture. So readers who say it lacked emotion are nutty, just my opinion.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A devastating first person account by a Transylvanian deportee in Birkenau (the work camp where living was daily torture) and Auschwitz (the death camp). Upon her family's arrival at the camps via cattle car, the author unknowingly sent her sons and parents to the crematorium, and then lived another year until liberation by the Russian Army. Nothing more needs to be said.
