Jest rok 1942, żydowski doktor Eddy de Wind pracuje jako wolontariusz w Westerbork, obozie przejściowym we wschodniej części Holandii. Tutaj spotyka młodą żydowską pielęgniarkę – Friedel. Zakochują się w sobie i biorą w obozie ślub. W 1943 roku zostają przetransportowani do Auschwitz. Tam zostają rozdzieleni: Eddy trafia do baraku numer 9, Friedel do baraku 10, w którym przeprowadzane są medyczne eksperymenty.
Seventy-five years ago, on a cold winter’s day — Jan. 27, 1945 — the Dutch Jewish doctor and trainee psychiatrist Eddy de Wind saw Russian troops in white camouflage suits stroll up the road “as if no Germans existed” and enter Auschwitz concentration camp. Soon after, he and other newly liberated prisoners were taking turns to dance on a large portrait of Hitler they had dragged out of an office. “I don’t remember what I felt,” De Wind wrote later.
A survivor of the Holocaust chronicles his horrific experiences in the “barbed-wire hell” of Auschwitz. A Dutch physician, de Wind was transported to Auschwitz in 1943 and was alive when the Red Army arrived in 1945. He stayed at the camp, working as a doctor for the other survivors and writing this book. It was published in the Netherlands in 1946 but nowhere else, so this is its first appearance in English.
