Written in Auschwitz itself, t his one-of-a-kind, minute-by-minute true account is a crucial historical testament to a Holocaust survivor\'s fight for his life at the largest extermination Camp in Nazi Germany, translated for the first time ever into English.
Never before published in English, this book is a vital and enduring document: a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a warning against the depths we can sink to when prejudice is given power.
Including photos from Eddy\'s life before, during, and after the Holocaust, this poignant memoir is at once a moving love story, a detailed portrayal of the atrocities of Auschwitz, and an intelligent consideration of the kind of behavior-both good and evil-people are capable of.
In stunningly poetic prose, he provides unparalleled access to the horrors he faced in the concentration camp.
Written in the Camp itself in the weeks following the Red Army\'s liberation of the camp, Last Stop Auschwitz is the raw, true account of Eddy\'s experiences at Auschwitz.
Sneaking moments with his beloved and communicating whenever they could, Eddy longed for the day he could be free with Friedel...
Upon arrival, Friedel and Eddy were separated--Eddy forced to work as a medical assistant in one barrack, Friedel at the mercy of Nazi experimentation in a nearby block.
One year later, they were transported to Auschwitz.
While at Westerbork, he fell in love with a woman named Friedel and they married.
He later found out she\'d already been transferred to Auschwitz.
His mother had been taken to this Camp by Nazis but Eddy was assured by the Jewish Council she would be freed in exchange for his labor. --Eddy de Wind In 1943, amidst the start of German occupation, Eddy de Wind worked as a doctor at Westerbork, a Dutch transit camp.
We know that there is only one ending to this, only one liberation from this barbed wire hell: death.
