Review

A shattering, centrally important testimony.--Yehuda Bauer A very detailed description of day-to-day life, if we can call it that, in Hell's inmost circle...Having read other books of this kind, I had expected to read this one straight through. But no, Eyewitness Auschwitz is jammed with infernal information too terrible to be taken all at once.--Terrence Des Pres "New Republic "
