One million Jews and others perished at Auschwitz. Thousands at a time were murdered in the camp's gas chambers, their bodies turned to ash in the four huge crematoriums that operated day and night. Among the few who survived was Dr. Miklos Nyiszli. In this still-shocking book-written just after the war's end-Nyiszli reveals the crimes of the Nazis as he witnessed them: the terrors of transport and "selection," the carefully engineered process of mass killing, the factory-like operation that stripped victims of anything useful to the Reich's war effort, and the torturous experiments on prisoners conducted by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. Nyiszli's chilling account also discloses the excruciating conflict he constantly endured as a Jewish physician conscripted to serve as Mengele's assistant.
