Hearing of the brutality meted out to the prisoners in a POW labour camp near auschwitz, Denis Avey smuggled himself into the camp, where he experienced the cruelty of a place where slave workers had been sentenced to death through labour. He survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis. Now he is able to tell the story, which offers an insight into the mind of a man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.
