Description

When World War II erupted in Europe, Konrad Charmatz was a prospering businessman in Sosnowiec, Poland, a loving son, and an aspiring poet.

For the next seven years he witnessed the Holocaust as it destroyed his family, his country and his culture.

In this study of suffering and survival, he gives his own personal account of the Warsaw ghetto, the death chambers at Auschwitz, the transport trains, the slave labour camps of Dachau, and the liberation. And from the perspective of the renowned journalist he later became, he also describes how the Holocaust was carried out, not only at the level of governments and their armies, but at the level of the individuals who took its orders.

Few people survived the Holocaust from such close range or for so long, and few remembered it with the eye of a practiced journalist.
