Five Chimneys
''Five Chimneys'', originally published in French as ''Souvenirs de l'au-delà'' (''Memoirs from the Beyond''), is the memoir of Olga Lengyel, née Gross, born on October 19, 1909 in Transylvania (Romania). ''Five Chimneys'' is similar to ''Thanks to My Mother'' by Schoschana Rabinovici, in the acute powers of observation and memory of the respective authors. However, whereas some of the events, especially those of a sexual nature, are over the head of the eleven-year-old narrator of ''Thanks to My Mother'', Olga Lengyel describes such events with an unflinching gaze. The physical exam (oral, rectal, vaginal) given to the nude women arrivals at Auschwitz-Birkenau, while German soldiers chuckled suggestively, is just one example.
== Background ==
In 1944, Olga Lengyel was deported with her parents, husband and two children to Auschwitz-Birkenau. She eventually secured work in the infirmary at Auschwitz, a position which made her survival more likely. Olga survived Auschwitz, the only one of her family to do so. Her husband, Miklós Lengyel, died on the Death March. After the war, she immigrated to the United States via Odessa and France. Olga married Gustav Aguire and moved to Havana, but returned to New York in 1962 and founded the Memorial Library〔http://www.thememoriallibrary.org/about/olga-lengyel〕 in Manhattan. The mission of the Memorial Library is to support Holocaust education and to help teachers from across the United States promote an agenda for social justice. She died on April 15, 2001 in New York at age 92.
