Coup de coeur
(WW2), by Clara
In this account we follow the story of a young Hungarian doctor, Miklos Nyiszli, who was deported to Auschwitz. Despite being spared death, Miklos comes face to face with it every day carrying scientific experiments alongside the infamous Angel of Death, Josef Mengele. A chilling and captivating tale, but above all one that is essential if we are never to forget...
Very similar to Primo Levi's If This is A Man.
When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Hungarian 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 of the terror of Auschwitz.
