In 1942 the young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind’s darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz.

Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass breakout. This shocking story sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposes a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS and presents the largely unknown story of military POWs held there.

We all have a capacity for good and evil.

Since reading and listening to a lot on the world wars, both fiction based on true stories and non fiction. I have greatly increased my knowledge and understanding.

This account of an English POW in Auschwitz is an important account from a different angle and is just as important as the Jewish accounts.

I will not dwell in the horrors that each of these types of books brings, however it is something we must all bear witness too.
We all have a capacity of good and evil.
The indoctrination of the Nazi ideology into its people with the rise of the Nazi party in the early 1930’s left them with this choice.
This did make for many good people in Germany despite what was going on.

Thank you for this amazing detailed account, as well the end chapters with the other men’s experiences and testimonies.
Highly recommend this book, lest we forget those who gave their lives and all those who have given us our freedom today.

For the dead and the living we must bear witness
