There, separated from his family, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was chosen to perform “scientific research” on his fellow prisoners—dead and alive. Miraculously, he survived—to write the most damning and shocking document yet to emerge from Eichmann’s inferno.Buchenwald...Belsen…Dachau…Mauthausen...AuschwitzAn eyewitness account of the most terrible of Hitler’s death camps—by a victim who survived.He was a Jew—and a doctor—spared death for a worse to perform autopsies and dissections on Jewish corpses consigned to the crematoria.Here he saw the orgiastic climax of the “final solution.” watched the extraction of gold from the mouths of the dead, the sadistic “experiments” on the living—and awaited the inevitable fate of other members of the Sonderkommando, the corps of Jewish prisoners assigned to carry the still-warm dead from the gas chambers to the Auschwitz ovens.Six million? Ten million? The exact number of the slaughtered will never be known. But Auschwitz was real—and this brutal account of human depravity is beyond the reach of any fiction. What you read here you will never forget!
