At Auschwitz, they made it through the brutal selection process and were put to work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach day, each hour became a battle for survival. For Eddy, this meant negotiating with the volatile guards in the medical barracks. For Friedel, it meant avoiding the Nazis' barbaric medical experiments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the end of the war approached and the Russian Army drew closer, the last Nazis fled, taking many prisoners with them, including Friedel. Eddy hid under a pile of old clothes and stayed behind. Finding a notebook and pencil, he began to write with furious energy about his experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLast Stop Auschwitz is an extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, a near real-time record of the daily struggle to survive but also of the flickering moments of joy Eddy and Friedel found in each other - passing notes through the fence, sometimes stealing a brief embrace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDocumenting the best and the worst of humanity, it is a unique and timeless story that reminds us of what we as humans are capable of, but that there is hope, even in Hell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThought to be the only complete book written within Auschwitz itself, it will linger with you long after the final page has been turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37872323362969,"sku":"9781784164980","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781784164980.jpg?v=1611337318","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781784164980","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
