Why read it?
1 author picked Last Stop Auschwitz as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This moving memoir is written in 1945, right after the evacuation of Auschwitz and the start of the Death Marches.
It is considered the only book written inside the camp. Eliazer ‘Eddy’ de Wind hid himself in the camp in January 1945 to escape the Death Marches. He wrote about the daily life in the camp while it was still fresh in his memory. The memoir was published in 1946. Nobody was interested and it bombed, but it was rediscovered in 1980 and became a semi-classic.
From Erik's list on Auschwitz you’ve probably never heard of.
