Title: Auschwitz
Review: The book was well written by Dr.Miklos Nyiszli who experienced more horror than anyone should ever encounter. It's a miracle that he and his wife lived through this terror. An amazing courage of the survival instinct of self preservation against all odds. I learned a lot more from this doctor's account than I ever read about the holocaust before. It is shocking, but a fast read without dwelling too long on each nightmarish incident. I felt that I was there in this insane manaical subculture where The evil Dr. Mengele was the devil himself from hell. I shed tears for Dr. Miklos at the end of the war when the Americans finally arrived and set him free of body, but the reader knows that his mind is far from free of all that he saw and the fact that he was the sadistic Dr. Mengele's assistant in order to live longer than the allotted 4 months.I came away feeling a renewed sense of gratitude for life and freedom.
