This is a most important book, and a timely reminder of the dangers that face any society once intolerance and racism take hold.

Denis is a hero in time of terror, a man of limitless moral and physical courage.
Henry Kamm, <i>New York Times</i> correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner

<i>Publishers Weekly</i>

This is the incredible story of British soldier Denis Avey who broke into Auschwitz to uncover the horrors that were concealed there by the Nazis...This is a brutal account of what he experienced. There are some who doubt his story but don't let that ruin this extraordinary book.
