This book is a translation of an oral history of the
concentration camp experience recorded immediately after World War
II as told by men and women who endured it and lived to tell about
it. Their vivid, firsthand accounts heighten the reality of this
experience in ways no third-person narrative can capture. Even when
they are at a loss for words, their struggle to find language to
express the unspeakable is, in itself, mute testimony to the ordeal
etched forever on their memories. The testimonies are arranged to
reflect the chronology of camp experience (from deportation to
liberation), the living conditions of camp life (from malnutrition
to forced labor), and the various methods of abuse and
extermination (from castration to gassing and cremation). The
chronology gives the accounts a narrative flow and even creates a
certain suspense, especially as liberation nears and hopes
rise.
