Miklos Nyiszli

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.

Miklós Nyiszli

Tells of the hideous experiments performed on Jewish victims at the infamous Nazi concentration camp

This is something that everyone should read, especially if they haven't a clue as to what actually happened in the time of the Holocaust. As eye-opening as Night was, this was even more deranged. I especially thought it was a good look into how the Third Reich was able to control people and lead them to their deaths willingly, since they psychologically tricked them. It gives a new meaning to "business as usual."

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. This new Penguin Modern Classics edition contains an introduction by Richard Evans.
