Auschwitz was one of the first books to bring the full horror of the Nazi death camps to the American public; this is, as the New York Review of Books said, "the best brief account of the Auschwitz experience available."
When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death" - Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele's personal research pathologist. In that capacity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months. Miraculously, Nyiszli survived to give this horrifying and sobering account.

“Auschwitz†is the account of a Jewish medical doctor who performed autopsies at the crematoria of Auschwitz at the behest of the infamous Dr. Mengele. It’s gut-wrenching reading. One is constantly reminded of the words of another famous Holocaust chronicler, Viktor Frankl, who said, “We who have come back, by the aid of many lucky chances or miracles - whatever one may choose to call them - we know: the best of us did not return.†That’s a sad fact with which Dr. Nyiszli had to live. Nyiszli lent his expertise to many despicable acts in the process of surviving, and it’s to his credit that he had the courage to write this work. He was the only one who could have told much of this story, and it’s a story that he felt the world must know--even if it meant rehashing the nightmare scenario of his life during the holocaust years, even if he was not always to be seen at his most virtuous.While Nyiszli was a man of science who tried to stick to the objective task of conducting autopsies, his results were routinely perverted to support Nazi pseudo-science—the pseudo-science used by Nazis to justify elimination of the Jews and other despised classes of humanity. Nyiszli stayed alive first-and-foremost because Dr. Mengele valued Nyiszli’s expertise, and perhaps the credibility that expertise offered to the Nazi’s insane attempts to emulate science.Sometimes by just answering basic scientific questions, Nyiszli was contributing to the advancement of dire atrocities. There’s no better example than when Mengele asked Nyiszli how one could obtain a skeleton from a corpse. These skeletons displayed deformities, and were thus to be sent to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics to support the absurd assertion that Jews were genetically degrading. Of course, as Nyiszli points out the disease these two people were afflicted with was no less common among blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryans than it was among the Jewish people. At any rate this resulted in two corpses (made corpses by force, not nature) being boiled to remove the skeletons so they could be sent to an institute as pseudo-evidence.Nyiszli’s forthcomingness is astounding. Nyiszli performed many objectionable actions at the behest of Mengele, but it’s clear he couldn’t have survived disobeying the Nazi doctor. However, there were also times when Nyiszli acted on his own in a way that was, arguably, detestable. After Auschwitz was abandoned, Nyiszli used his former position--and Mengele name-dropping)-to cut in line to get into an encampment (essentially a refugee camp) so he could get a shower and food for the night when others were left out in the cold.I don’t mean to make Nyiszli look evil. He did many virtuous things in the process of surviving as well. This included sneaking medical supplies from the crematoria infirmary (where there was abundance) to barracks infirmaries (where there was a dire shortage.) He did his best to save those he could. It’s to Nyiszli’s credit that he shows us a complete picture. One expects such a book to be distorted when it comes to the author, but Nyiszli’s book seems honest.This is an important book as it lets us peer into one of the darkest hours of humanity, and gaze upon a terribleness that would have been lost to posterity. The book gives a chilling account of what it must have been like to be in the gas chambers, told by someone who saw the aftermath in person. Nyiszli saw the piles of bodies reaching to the ceiling—dog piles in which the weakest were trapped on the bottom as the strongest tried to climb over women and children to get a gulp of good air. (Another proof of Frankl’s thesis.) Nyiszli also describes how one little girl, in a freak occurrence, managed to survive the chambers owing to an air pocket, only to have the SS finish the execution by cruder means.I think everybody should read this book, but I’ll offer a warning that it’s not for the faint of heart. One has to keep righteous rage in check to just get through the book. However, to ignore this wicked moment in history is to fail to see the traps humanity is capable of falling into through simple refusal to do the right thing or a willingness to try to feel better about oneself by casting aspersions on those with slightly different physical features.
Initially, I decided against writing a review because it's too difficult to do so.Where do I start...what do I say? This is not a story. It's an eyewitness account...a memoir. It's not the type of book that you can rate as 'good', 'mediocre' or 'weak' because it's not the kind of book you read for entertainment or enjoyment.What are my five stars for? The courage to speak out and write this book, even though there are people who judge the doctor as detached/emotionless. First, we have to remember that the story was translated. Another thing to consider is, maybe this clinical approach was intentional so that the cold, hard facts (or as close to it as possible) could be captured and relayed to the world? Maybe the doctor did so as a coping mechanism...to preserve what was left of his sanity? Who knows. I don't know. I'm not a historian or an expert on these matters, nor am I in a position to say that the doctor was right or wrong.We must be careful not to slip into the comfortable role of armchair critics as we read these almost unbelievable and horrific accounts from our 21st century perspectives. It's seventy plus years later, and as time passes, these atrocities will become even more distant.So let this story stand as an important and chilling reminder of man's inhumanity to man.
This review is difficult, as the content is difficult ... horrific. It is unimaginable that this could, and did, happen. It is a part of history, a heinous part, and I feel that we all should know their story.This is a highly detailed account of a Jewish doctor forced to work directly under Dr. Mengele, the angel of death. He lived and worked inside one of the four crematoriums at Auschwitz, and was witness to many disturbing and nightmarish events, alongside the every day horror of life in the crematorium.The depravity of some of the german soldiers, doctors, and leaders are beyond comprehension. They didn't just do as ordered and administer the torture and killing, they enjoyed it.A current controversy is the debate over if the Holocaust would have or would not have happened if the people had been armed. It still would have occurred, because the every day man or group of men cannot defeat a trained army, but after reading about the 12th Sonderkommand at Auschwitz I think the scope could have been lessened, even if only slightly.
A very different account of life in Auschwitz. Being a doctor surprisingly saved this man's life, even though he ended up assisting the infamous Dr Mengele in his different tests on bodies of dead children, dwarfs and others that were considered non-human by the Nazi Regime. The times he came so close to the gas chambers only to be saved at the last moment; that once in a lifetime chance to save the lives of his wife and daughter then not knowing if they had survived the last of the war until they reunited at their home after they were freed.How does one call this a story of hope, even though it was. Dr Ntiszli was extremely lucky to have survived this, one of the worst of all Death Camps during the Holocaust. He survived to share the horrors of what he saw and lived through, in the hopes we will all learn to never let it happen again.
