Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account by Tibère Kremer, Bruno Bettelheim, Miklós Nyiszli, Richard Seaver

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

4.0

I have read many books and seen many movies about the Holocaust.  This is one of the most horrific books I have ever read.  Dr. Miklós Nyiszli, the author and a Jewish doctor who is assigned to work with Josef Mengele.  Their work areas are located near the crematory.  Dr. Nyiszli did not participate in Mengele's "experiments" and mostly did autopsies as demanded by Mengele.  Dr. Nyiszli did get to know the Sonderkommandos, Jewish prisoners forced to do various duties at the crematories.  The author relates what he saw at the crematories and at the pyre and the murders done by guards and others.
