The Dentist of Auschwitz A Memoir Author:Benjamin Jacobs The story of Berek Jakubowicz (now Benjamin Jacobs), a Jewish dental student, is a gripping account of the horrors of the Holocaust. Jacobs was deported in 1941 from his Polish village and taken to a Nazi labor camp where he remained a prisoner of the Reich until the ending days of war. He is convinced that he owes his survival to the possession... more » of a few dental tools and rudimentary skills as he was moved from labor camp to labor camp. Jacobs writes about the loss of family, what life was like as a prisoner, and the horrible truths about the Holocaust that only a survivor can tell. Goes far beyond most personal accounts of the Holocaust in reflecting the authors raw courage, his will power, and his luck over a seemingly never-ending four-year period.Gerard E. Silberstein« less
