Book review: The Pharmacist of Auschwitz: The Untold Story

Image
  This book is a non-fiction book that is introducing the life of Dr. Victor Capesius, one of the pharmacists in the Auschwitz during World War 2.  The book is very well written, referencing a lot of further articles and studies on the WW2 theme; introducing also the most important companies of the period and how they affected the entire war. It deals with both youth of Capesius, his role in Auschwitz and crimes he partake in during WW2 in Auschwitz as retold by survivors and witnesses as well as the post war years. Large portion of the book introduces the trials of post war years with many of SS key figures, followed by actual photos referencing many of the important events.  As a first book I read that in detail introduced the post war trials, it was very captivating to read.

Review: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)

Image
  I had wondered how the lives of characters from my favorite Beetlejuice (1988)  movie would have developed before the new  Beetlejuice Beetlejuice  was announced. So of course, I needed to see it asap and it gave me all the answers I needed as it was not a remake but continuation of the original story. A lot of the scenes in the movie are references to the previous one so you might want to watch the og Beetlejuice  so you would understand the relationships between the characters better. 8/10
