Barnes and Noble had this on sale as a nookbook for $1.99, so I bought it and opened it up on my nook, just intending to read a few pages. It was hard to put down. At just 194 pages, it was a relatively quick read and could easily be read in one sitting. This book may be just 194 pages, but they are 194 of the most horrifying pages I have ever read. I can't really review this book, I can just recommend that you read it once. ( ) A remarkable book, about the horrors that went on inside the Auschwitz prison camp. Dr. Nyiszli saw many things while a doctor working under Dr. Mengele, forced to perform useless autopsies those who died in the camp. He became a witness to the work of what went on inside the camp offices. This should be a book that is read with other books on the Holocaust to show what went on in these camps.

History.
Nonfiction.
HTML: Auschwitz was one of the first books to bring the full horror of the Nazi death camps to the American public; this is, as the New York Review of Books said, "the best brief account of the Auschwitz experience available." When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death": Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele's personal research pathologist. In that capactity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months. Miraculously, Nyiszli survived to give this horrifying and sobering account. Auschwitz was one of the first books to bring the full horror of the Nazi death camps to the American public. Although much has since been written about the Holocaust, this eyewitness account remains, as the New York Review of Bookssaid in 1987, "the best brief account of the Auschwitz experience available." Of Bruno Bettelheim's famous foreword Neal Ascherson has written, "Its eloquence and outrage must guarantee it a permanent place in Jewish historiography." .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
