The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz
by Denis Avey (2011, 263p.)
The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into the concentration camp, Buna-Monowitz, known as Auschwitz III.
For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story-a tale as gripping as it is moving-which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.
