creativejo's review against another edition
A fantastic read and look into a different angle of the Holocaust. Still a prisoner, Miklos Nyiszli is treated far more fairly by the notorious Dr. Mengele becuase of his education in the field of biology research and autopsies. Not to say he did not live in fear daily, but an interesting point of view to see how he describes being of the Jewish faith and having to play house with the Aryans that are running the show.

A horrific recount of the events transpired in Auschwitz. I’ve read stories but nothing like this, from the perspective of someone who held some sort of higher social status above the other prisoners while being a prisoner himself.

"Those who seek to protect the body at all cost die many times over. Those who risk the body to survive have a good chance to live on."

Hørt den norske utgaven av denne boken på lydbok. Kan anbefales om man er glad i virkelighetsnære historier.
En dyster, tragisk og inngripende historie som er godt formidlet. Handlingen viser før, under og etter krigen, men i hovedsak om andre verdenskrig og hvordan det var å jobbe tett med nazilegen, Josef Mengele, og hans ekstreme og umenneskelige eksperimenter på fanger i konsentrasjonsleiren Auschwitz.

Everyone should read this book. I quote the closing paragraph from the book's foreword, written by the Austrian-born psychologist, scholar, public intellectual and writer, Bruno Bettelheim, who wrote from Chicago in 1960 that:
"This book then is most of all a cautionary tale, as old as mankind. Those who seek to protect the body at all cost die many times over. Those who risk the body to survive as men have a good chance to live on."

Wow. Just wow.
You get so sucked into it! It was incredibly interesting to read about the atrocities that occurred in the camps.
