5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant..., 20 Jul 2005
By R. Farrelly "Monkeynuts" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An amazing story of survival, I couldn't put it down! The tale is so horrowing I sat with tears down my face. We all know the history of Auschwitz but until you read the details and figures involved it will never sink in. This is the best history lesson you can get. I'm hooked on learning more about these events that ruined so many lives...The reviews speak for themselves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slave to the murder machinery that was Auschwitz-Birkenau, 26 April 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars another remarkable survival story, 18 Feb 2007
By Dr. D. Fraser (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read a great amount of accounts by holocaust survivers. They all are remarkable, and all add somthing to the history we should never forget.

This book deals in considerable depth with the practicalities of the mass murders, the gas chambers and crematoria. As so few of the Sonderkommando survived to bear witness, Mullers account bears added importance.

One of the most remarkable things about this book is the simple matter-of-fact way in which Muller relates his account. Almost as if he were talking about some 9 to 5 factory job. What really comes across is how the Nazis dehumanised those in their charge to perform these tasks, but still those like Muller somehow survived and came out the other side.
