Slave to the murder machinery that was Auschwitz-Birkenau April 26, 2002
89 out of 92 found this review helpful
Filip Muller was a memebr of the Sonderkommado at Auschwitz-Birkenau, responsible for the disposal of the corpses after death by gassing. Having first seen "Shoah" (the epic Claude Lanzmann Documentary)where Filip Muller explains his experiences at Auschwitz-Birkenau (admittedly edited in length), it was most interesting to read his book to obtain the true picture of his suffering.
Having actually been to Auschwitz-Birkenau and read extesnively around the subject, it is still a deeply moving & disturbing when you read what actually happened there. As a third person, it is very interesting to read an account like this, as it actually puts you very vividly into that envrionment.
This book is thoroughly recommended - it captures all that is so very wrong in the human spirit - hatred, bigotry, prejudice - and yet all that is so very right in the human spirit - courage, determination & an extraordinary will to survive & bear witness to humanity's greatest crime.

An amazing story of survival, I couldn't put it down! The tale is so horrowing I sat with tears down my face. We all know the history of Auschwitz but until you read the details and figures involved it will never sink in. This is the best history lesson you can get. I'm hooked on learning more about these events that ruined so many lives...The reviews speak for themselves!
another remarkable survival story February 18, 2007

I have read a great amount of accounts by holocaust survivers. They all are remarkable, and all add somthing to the history we should never forget.
This book deals in considerable depth with the practicalities of the mass murders, the gas chambers and crematoria. As so few of the Sonderkommando survived to bear witness, Mullers account bears added importance.
One of the most remarkable things about this book is the simple matter-of-fact way in which Muller relates his account. Almost as if he were talking about some 9 to 5 factory job. What really comes across is how the Nazis dehumanised those in their charge to perform these tasks, but still those like Muller somehow survived and came out the other side.

I would feel it wrong to say I enjoyed a book of this nature. But, I was astounded by this book, so moving at times to bring you to tears, gruesome enough to make you feel ill, but SO necessary to read. I am not jewish, but i feel everyone should read this book and understand what happened, it must never be forgotten.
Heart rending accounts of genocide. April 1, 2002
53 out of 55 found this review helpful
The eye-witness accounts of the author make your blood run cold. The horrors to which the Jewish people were subjected to at Auschwitz, just because they were Jews, are presented in horrific and heart-rending detail.The accounts of women, the elderly and infants being shepherded into the gas chambers through deceit or force, right under the eyes of the author, will remain with you for ever. We must all be thankful that survivors are prepared to document their experiences in this way...
