In 1942, young British soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind’s darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz. Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass break-out. This shocking true story sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposes a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS and presents the largely unknown story of the military POWs held there.

Spectator in Hell

Em 1942, o militar inglês Arthur Dodd foi capturado pelos nazis e levado para Auschwitz. Determinado a resistir até à morte, sabotou o sistema eléctrico e as fábricas do campo, onde se produzia material de guerra e químicos, arriscou a vida para tentar aliviar o sofrimento dos judeus e juntou-se a um grupo para uma fuga em massa.Este livro descreve-nos um dia-a-dia brutal num ambiente de hostilidade extrema e revela novos dados sobre Auschwitz, designadamente no que diz respeito à existência de soldados aliados entre os presos, aos objetivos económicos do complexo e as empresas que lá se instalaram, às razões pelas quais alguns prisioneiros sobreviveram, ao medo das SS por parte dos militares convencionais alemães ou, inclusivamente, ao conhecimento generalizado das câmaras de gás.Outros sobreviventes que nunca tinham contado a sua história reforçam a autenticidade do testemunho de Arthur Dodd e fazem deste livro uma obra fundamental para conhecer um período terrível da história da Humanidade.
