Max Tomlinson’s Reviews > The Auschwitz Detective > Status Update

An excellent, harrowing account of "life" in Auschwitz for a prisoner who has to hide the fact that he was a policeman in his former life is marred by a convoluted mystery plot that keeps adding improbable events and hard-to-believe orchestrations to the plot, derailing the real story: a valuable, authentic historical account of the Nazi killing machine. It's a shame because the depiction of camp life is powerful.
