Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers FROM THE PUBLISHER
Filip Muller came to Auschwitz with one of the earliest transports from Slovakia in April 1942 and began working in the gassing installations and crematoria in May. He was still alive when the gassings ceased in November 1944. He saw multitudes come and disappear; by sheer luck he survived. Muller is neither a historian nor a psychologist; he is a source--one of the few prisoners who saw the Jewish people die and lived to tell about it. Eyewitness Auschwitz is thus one of the key documents of the Holocaust.
FROM THE CRITICS
Jewish Press Features
Riveting...it is a tale of unprecedented, incomparable horror. Profoundly, intensely painful; but it is essential reading.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
A very detailed description of day-to-day life, if we can call it that, in Hellﾽs inmost circle...jammed with infernal information too terrible to be taken all at once. — Terrence Des Pres
