Description
A unique and harrowing account of life inside the Nazi extermination machine, as seen through the eyes of Shlomo Venezia, a member of the 'Sonderkommando' responsible for removing corpses from the gas chambers. Venezia's story is a grim and unflinching portrayal of the daily tasks and terror inspired by those in charge, including the notorious 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll. The 'Sonderkommando' was a special unit given the horrific privilege of witnessing the unspeakable, yet this privilege came with a terrible price. Venezia's survival is a testament to the human spirit, and his account is a powerful and poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, this book is a rare and important account of life inside Auschwitz.
