But a horrific chain of events puts her in one of the most terrifying places imaginable: Auschwitz-Birkenau. There she comes face to face with one of history's most infamous Nazi doctors, nicknamed the Angel of Death, Josef Mengele. With her parents and two of her siblings already killed in the gas chambers, Klara and her two remaining sisters struggle to survive in the women's barracks until Mengele sentences Klara herself to die. But as she waits in the holding room of the chambers, she manages to orchestrate a remarkable death-defying escape. Already the subject of an award-winning documentary, Auschwitz Esacpe: The Klara Wizel Story is based on dozens of personal interviews, and it recounts the inspirational tale of a girl who escapes imminent death at the hands of one of the world's most notorious war criminals."--Back cover. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Wizel, Klara, |d1927- 650 0 Holocaust survivors |vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zHungary |vPersonal narratives. 650 0 Jewish women in the Holocaust. 600 10 Mengele, Josef, |d1911-1979. 610 20 Auschwitz (Concentration camp) 610 20 Mährisch Weisswasser (Concentration camp) 650 0 Survival. 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 700 1 Naten, Danny, |d1957-2012, |eauthor. 700 1 Gifford, R.
