If This Is a Man
Originally published in 1946 in French, "Five Chimneys" is one of the most detailed personal accounts of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Olga was an inmate in the women's barracks at Birkenau for seven months in 1944-1945 and her narrative highlights issues of special importance to women. In this sense, "Five Chimneys" may be viewed as complementary to Primo Levi's "If This Is a Man – Survival in Auschwitz" or Elie Wiesel's "Night".
