In March 1944, 21-year old Louis De Wijze was sent from the Netherlands to the Monowitz labor camp (Auschwitz III), part of Hitler s infamous Final Solution complex in Poland. Enduring starvation and inhuman cruelty, he participated in a daring smuggling operation in the heart of a Nazi concentration camp. De Wijze chronicles his survival, by courage and luck, in a world of death. Told in his own frank and gritty style, this is the story of one man s triumph of will over hate and brutality.
