1: "Eyewitness Auschwitz is an exceptionally graphic, in-depth re-telling by Filip Muller" BCM
Eyewitness Auschwitz,
Three Years in the Gas Chambers
Written By: Filip Muller
Published by Ivan R Dee, Chicago, 1st Ed. By this Publisher, Published in Association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 1999, paperback, 180 pages.
"Eyewitness Auschwitz is an exceptionally graphic, in-depth and carefully recounted description of Filip Muller's improbable three-year survival in the Gas Chambers of Auschwitz, one of the most infamous Nazi Extermination Camps"BCM
Filip Muller was born in Sered, Czechoslovakia in 1922. He was a young man with the promising future of being a great fiddle player and possibly as a writer.
Then in 1942, Filip was deported to Auschwitz, when he was just 20 years old and his life and indeed his very soul, would never be the same again.
When he arrived in Auschwitz, Filip was permanently tattooed with the prisoner number 29236 and then sent to work in the gassing chambers soon after.
As a part of the Sonderkommando(Jewish prisoners/workers), Filip Muller was forced to work under the threat of torture...

2: Powerful indictment of Nazi Germany
This is a good book for any holocaust deniers to read. He is one of the only actual witnesses to what happened at Auschwitz.

3: Excellant
An outstanding account of one man's experiance. I liked the way the story was told with more of a narative perspective rather than a dramatic one. I think this allows you to feel your own emotions rather than the authors. I intend to visit soon and see it 1st hand. May we never forget.

4: Love it!
This book is so amazing. It really brings you to that time period and what he went through every day when he was there. I love this book.

5: Riviting
Nobody should be critical of the writing "style" of this book. The man who wrote it doesn't claim to be a professional writer. He relates his own eyewitness accounts of the most horrific scenes, worse than any fiction imaginable. The book details the planned and cunning killing of thousands upon thousands of living human beings, and the struggle by the SS to dispose of the mountains of remains. A terribly sad and unforgettable book. Thanks to Mr. Muller for sharing this horror with the world. Read it if you can. The world needs to experience this, and remember it, forever.
