THE SUNDAY TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'The ultimate
Holocaust testimony.' HEATHER MORRIS, author of The Tattooist of
Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey Afterword by JOHN BOYNE, author of
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas _______________ Eddy de Wind, a
Dutch doctor and psychiatrist, was shipped to Auschwitz with his
wife Friedel, whom he had met and married at the Westerbork labour
camp in the Netherlands. At Auschwitz, they made it through the
brutal selection process and were put to work. Each 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. As 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. Last 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. Documenting 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.
_______________ WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'It's heart-wrenching, but
there are pockets of resistance, rays of hope that shine through.'
'Powerful and ultimately uplifting... with courage and strength you
can survive anything.' 'This is an important work. We must never
forget.'
