Genre: Literature/Fiction/Collection of Short Stories
The Author brings to life a myriad of gripping stories about those affected by the Holocaust. These are not the common accounts of survival or even human perseverance, but the damage that humanity can bring upon its own kind. Each story delves deep into the human psyche and exposes the real and raw brutality visited upon the Jews in Nazi occupied Europe.
I have read many Holocaust survivor stories. They are horrific, frightening and above all, inspiring. However, Freese deviates from this typical path. He speaks for those who are gone and cannot tell their tale. He speaks for those who are broken, their stories their chains, even decades after their imprisonment. He masterfully gets into the minds of the Nazis, giving the reader yet another unique perspective of the Holocaust.
Freese makes the reader feel his characters pain, loss and despair. Each and every one of them becomes real in the reader’s mind. You can't help but empathize with their plights and feel their agony. They are alive, genuine and vibrate with emotion.
Freese is an exceptional writer. His style is almost poetic, but doesn't overshadow the plot. Although his writing is superb, the focus is on the characters and their story. His dialogue lends to his character's believability and authenticity.
I truly Lament is a necessary read. It takes you to a dark place. Yet, when you emerge back into the light, you will possess more compassion and understanding then you did before. There are some books in this world that change you. This is one of them.
