Hanged at Auschwitz by Sim Kessel
Condition: Acceptable vintage condition. Some wear on the cover light creases/marks/rubbing/scuffs etc and a couple of the original stickers on the cover. There is a water mark at the front of the book which has followed through to about 1/3 of the pages and left some discolouration and a slight crinkle otherwise a tidy and very readable copy.
Notes: Vintage 1975 paperback. A Jewish member of the French Resistance, Sim Kessel lived for almost three years in Nazi captivity. The bulk of his time was at the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he survived torture, starvation, and even his own public execution through extraordinary luck. His remarkable and terrifying story shows in knowing and intimate detail how guards and kapos under the Nazi system degenerated into conscienceless killers, and how the desperate scramble to survive dehumanized Kessel's fellow prisoners.
