Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 1943, amidst the start of German occupation, Eddy de Wind worked as a doctor at Westerbork, a Dutch transit camp. His mother had been taken to this camp by Nazis but Eddy was assured by the Jewish Council she would be freed in exchange for his labor. He later found out she'd already been transferred to Auschwitz. While at Westerbork, he fell in love with a woman named Friedel and they married. One year later, they were transported to Auschwitz. Upon arrival, Friedel and Eddy were separated-Eddy forced to work as a medical assistant in one barrack, Friedel at the mercy of Nazi experimentation in a nearby block. Sneaking moments with his beloved and communicating whenever they could, Eddy longed for the day he could be free with Friedel... Written in the camp itself in the weeks following the Red Army's liberation of the camp, [this book] is the raw, true account of Eddy's experiences at Auschwitz. In stunningly poetic prose, he provides unparalleled access to the horrors he faced in the concentration camp. Including photos from Eddy's life before, during, and after the Holocaust, this poignant memoir is at once a moving love story, a detailed portrayal of the atrocities of Auschwitz, and an intelligent consideration of the kind of behavior-both good and evil-people are capable of. Never before published in English, this book is a vital and enduring document: a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a warning against the depths we can sink to when prejudice is given power."--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53185 Wind Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Wind Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Wind Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Wind Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
