One of the Best Eyewitness Accounts of the Holocaust - By: Mr. S. J. Dunn, 24 May 2007 
(this review written by Mrs. S J Dunn)
This book is very descriptive,in that Dr. Nyiszli spares no detailin what he has written within its pages. It has to be one of the greatest books on the Holocaust that I have yet read. I too, have been to Auschwitz & Birkenau, & seen all of the sites where these atrocities took place, as well as the physical evidence describedin this book; & having read itin my hotel roomin Poland on a night following a visit to Auschwitz & Birkenau during that day, this book provided a very surreal backdrop to my pilgrimage to the camps...I never put it down until I read itin its entirety. Anyone that has an interestin the Holocaust, this book is a MUST READ! Out of the more than 10 books I've read on the subject to date, this book ties with I ESCAPED FROM AUSCHWITZ by Rudolf Vrba for #1.
Horrific Eye Witness Account That Must Be Read! - By: , 11 Oct 2001 I have always had an interestin the Holocaust, but until I read this book some fourteen years ago, it had always remained at a distance.
A reputable colleague at work handed me a copy of this book & said 'this is worth a read'.
Having begun, I could not put the book down. The book gripped me from start to finish. The story is horrific but, nevertheless, it is a story that we all owe it to ourselves to be familiar with.
The story & the author's experiences were so profound & penetrating that I have spent the last fourteen years studying & reading as much about the Holocaust as I can. I have visited the Concentration Camps at Treblinka, Majdanek, Auschwitz, Birkenau & Plaszov, together with other areasin Poland directly connected with the Jewish Holocaust.
I have seen the buildings full of human hair from the Jewish victims, the gas chambers, crematoria & the other hideous instruments of mass murder referred toin this book.
The book by Dr. Miklos Nyiszli will not take you long to finish. The voices of the victims referred to have long since disappeared. Many people today are not even aware of the Holocaust & others deny it's very existence.
Books like these, written by people who were actually there, are essential if our this & forthcoming generations are to be made aware of "man's inhumanity to man" & to prevent such a horror from occurring again.
