Last Stop Auschwitz - Autobiographies (Paperback)

Product Description

Books Autobiographies Eddy de Wind, a Dutch doctor & psychiatrist, was shipped to Auschwitz with his wife Friedel, whom he had met & married at the Westerbork labour camp in the Netherlands. At Auschwitz, they made it through the brutal selection process & were put to work. Each day, each hour became a battle for survival. For Eddy, this meant negotiating with the volatile guards in the medical barracks. For Friedel, it meant avoiding the Nazis’ barbaric medical experiments. As the end of the war approached & the Russian Army drew closer, the last Nazis fled, taking many prisoners with them, including Friedel. Eddy hid under a pile of old clothes & stayed behind. Finding a notebook & pencil, he began to write with furious energy about his experiences. Last Stop Auschwitz is an extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, a near real-time record of the daily struggle to survive but also of the flickering moments of joy Eddy & Friedel found in each other
