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.

When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A 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.

Everyone knows Dr. Josef Mengele, the evil Auschwitz doctor who sent countless Jews to the gas chambers, performed cruel, pointless medical experiments on inmates, and gave twin research a bad reputation. But how do we "know" about his many diabolic deeds?The most important source for what Mengele is said to have done at Ausch-witz comes from the Hungarian Jew MiklOs Nyiszli, a forensic physician who claims to have been Dr. Mengele's assistant at Auschwitz. In 1946, he published a book about his traumatic experiences while he was at Auschwitz. Over the years, his book has been translated into all major languages of Europe. It has become one of the mainstays of the orthodox Auschwitz narrative, right next to the testimonies of other key witnesses, such as that of the former Auschwitz commandant Rudolf HOss, or of Elie Wiesel.As influential as Nyiszli's book has been in forming the world's opinion about Auschwitz, Nyiszli's various writings have never been subjected to thorough critical scrutiny. The present book changes this.Part 1 of this book contains a faithful translation of the original 1946 edition of Nyiszli's Hungarian book, while Part 2 makes publicly accessible for the first time essential excerpts of much-less known postwar texts by and about Nyiszli.Part 3 thoroughly scrutinizes Nyiszli's writings with what we know to be true about Auschwitz from solid material facts and authentic documentation, while Part 4 compares his various claims with what other inmate doctors have stated who were in a similar position at Auschwitz as Nyiszli claims for himself.Part 5 takes a critical look into how orthodox historians have dealt with Nyiszli's texts, while a short essay in the Appendix lays bare the mythical nature of the clichE of Dr. Mengele as the "Angel of Death."The author's conclusion is dispositive: "Nyiszli was either an extraordinary impostor or a lunatic; there is no escaping from the dilemma. And both horns of this dilemma - shameless mendacity or lunacy - disqualify Nyiszli and completely destroy his credibility."

There, separated from his family, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was chosen to perform “scientific research” on his fellow prisoners—dead and alive. Miraculously, he survived—to write the most damning and shocking document yet to emerge from Eichmann’s inferno. Buchenwald... Belsen… Dachau… Mauthausen... Auschwitz An eyewitness account of the most terrible of Hitler’s death camps—by a victim who survived. He was a Jew—and a doctor—spared death for a worse to perform autopsies and dissections on Jewish corpses consigned to the crematoria. Here he saw the orgiastic climax of the “final solution.” watched the extraction of gold from the mouths of the dead, the sadistic “experiments” on the living—and awaited the inevitable fate of other members of the Sonderkommando, the corps of Jewish prisoners assigned to carry the still-warm dead from the gas chambers to the Auschwitz ovens. Six million? Ten million? The exact number of the slaughtered will never be known. But Auschwitz was real—and this brutal account of human depravity is beyond the reach of any fiction. What you read here you will never forget!
