PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS : AUSCHWITZ: A DOCTORS EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT – MIKLOS NYISZLI-RICHARD SEVEAR-TIBERE KREMER

When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Hungarian Jew and a medical doctor, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared from death for a grimmer fate: to perform scientific research on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the infamous Angel of Death : Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele s personal research pathologist. Miraculously, he survived to give this terrifying and sobering account of the terror of Auschwitz. This new Penguin Modern Classics edition contains an introduction by Richard Evans.
