    Sereny herself was a devastating & fearless writer, her book imprint forever - one longs and fears to revisit them.

    Came back to this interview. Serneyi's book was the most difficult book for me to read in my 75 or so years of reading. Ally this with James Baldwin's "Going to meet the Man", a short story that gave me many sleepless nights. I ran across Sereny's book while staying with my son and family, at a B&B type of place, during a visit to New Orleans. Looking for reading material, I found nothing really worthwhilet. On an upper shelf, was a book that appeared to have a German Swastika on it. "Rigid instruction" begins on the first page, when the author reminds us that we should not confuse concentration camps with extermination camps. From then, one descends to levels of Hell, well beyond Dante's imagination. RIP Gitta Sereny and Diana Athill.

      Yes. Absolutely. As are the Books by Glazar, Fryberg, Willenberg, Blatt

    Parts of this book are devastating - like looking in to hell.

      Fully agree. Hence the title of the book, so apt.

    Aah, I just checked. She died earlier this year.
    RIP Diana, you had a long and what must have been a very interesting life. A good innings, as they say.

    Horrifying.
