On arrival, they made it through the brutal selection process and were put to work in the medical barracks. In their new life, each day, each hour became a battle for survival. For De Wind, this meant negotiating the volatile guards. For Friedel, it meant avoiding the inevitable fate of Joseph Mengele's medical experiments. Despite all this, love prevailed. Passing notes through the fence, sometimes stealing a brief embrace, Friedel and De Wind made it through. As the last Nazis fled at the end of the war, De Wind hid himself in an abandoned barracks and began to write with furious energy about his experiences at Auschwitz. The result is an extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, a near real-time record of the daily struggle, stress and horror, but also of the flickering moments of joy De Wind and Friedel found in each other. Last Stop Auschwitz is a document of the best and the worst of humanity, a reminder of what we as humans were - and are - capable of. A harrowing and eloquent account of suffering and survival, love and despair, it's a unique and timeless story that reminds us there is hope, even in hell. And it will linger with you long after the final page has been turned. -- Provided by publisher. 546 Translated from the Dutch. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Wind, Eddy de, |d1916-1987. 610 20 Auschwitz (Concentration camp) 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives, Dutch. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJews. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xPrisoners and prisons, German. 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xJuifs. |0(CaQQLa)201-0011803 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xPrisonniers et prisons des Allemands. |0(CaQQLa)201-0276000 610 27 Auschwitz (Concentration camp) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00723014 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 Warfare and Defence. |2ukslc 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Personal narratives |vDutch. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01424100 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 700 1 Colmer, David, |d1960- |etranslator. 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781473572980 852 0 |bstacks |hD805.5.A96 |iW5613 2020
