About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Well written and concise. The depths of human cruelty cannot truly be understood unless you were there. The author really makes the reader feel the agony of the moment. It's a tragic story with a satisfying ending. There are not enough prayers I could say for all the souls that perished. We must retell the horrible stories to keep it from happening again.

Extremely Historically innacurate, this falls into the category of fiction and should not be read for insight, the Nazis weren't good, but they weren't THIS bad You don't need to smear and lie about a group people already hate anyways......i was there and saw what happened first hand and it's opposite of how this book explains...

A great book, but my low rating is for Google who sells it for 7 times more than Amazon. I use the Kindle Android app, and the same book is for sale for 2 bucks. Not 14. Guess where I bought it from.
