Format:Paperback
This book is simply brilliant. If you really want to know what day to day life was like for those unfortunate enough to have been imprisoned in Auschwitz, then this is the book to read. It gives graphical accounts of day to day living and the treatment of prisoners in the camp. I like the way in which it is written (a bit like a novel and all in the present tense). He is telling it as it happened and not as if he's thinking back. It gives a great insight into the barbarity of the the Nazis and it strikes me how the author and those he was friendly with lost all feeling and emotion being constanly in contact with death and suffering all the time. A truly magnificent read.

Format:Paperback
Filip Muller was a memebr of the Sonderkommado at Auschwitz-Birkenau, responsible for the disposal of the corpses after death by gassing. Having first seen "Shoah" (the epic Claude Lanzmann Documentary)where Filip Muller explains his experiences at Auschwitz-Birkenau (admittedly edited in length), it was most interesting to read his book to obtain the true picture of his suffering.
Having actually been to Auschwitz-Birkenau and read extesnively around the subject, it is still a deeply moving & disturbing when you read what actually happened there. As a third person, it is very interesting to read an account like this, as it actually puts you very vividly into that envrionment.
This book is thoroughly recommended - it captures all that is so very wrong in the human spirit - hatred, bigotry, prejudice - and yet all that is so very right in the human spirit - courage, determination & an extraordinary will to survive & bear witness to humanity's greatest crime.

The eye-witness accounts of the author make your blood run cold. The horrors to which the Jewish people were subjected to at Auschwitz, just because they were Jews, are presented in horrific and heart-rending detail.
The accounts of women, the elderly and infants being shepherded into the gas chambers through deceit or force, right under the eyes of the author, will remain with you for ever.
We must all be thankful that survivors are prepared to document their experiences in this way...

Shocking.
It is probably the best book I've read on Shoah. Truly shocking (although no surprises, I've learned all about it before) because it was written by an eyewitness. Read more
