A sobering and unflinching account of the author‘s internment at Auschwitz in 1944-1945. After the camp was liberated by Soviet troops, Debreczeni, a reporter in Hungary before the war, wrote down his experience in this memoir. Because of the Cold War, it wasn‘t published outside of the country until recent years. While it‘s harsh and horrific, it‘s also moving, poetic and beautifully written. Highly recommend.
