This was truly a horrific account told by an eyewitness to the atrocities committed by the Nazis at the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz. The author, Dr. Nyiszli, was selected by Dr. Mengele, the "Angel of Death", to help perform autopsies on Mengele's victims. While there, Nyiszli also served as physician to the "Sonderkommando", the Jewish prisoners who worked in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after 4 months. Nyiszli provides details of the horrors committed including the mass extermination by gassing and cremation of thousands of European Jews as well as non-Jews including Gypsies and other non-Aryans considered inferior by the Nazis. This one had to be read in small doses. The extent of the Nazi atrocities is really unbelievable!
