The Pharmacist of Auschwitz: The Untold Story

2000

I find it quite hard to rate non-fiction on the usual star scale as that is based on enjoyment, and this story is certainly not enjoyable in that sense. I found this book compelling and well written despite the appalling subject matter, it certainly uncovered more information on the other people involved in the atrocities at the death camps than just those responsible for the shootings and gas chambers. These “doctors” were just as responsible. I think I sat shaking my head the entire time in utter disbelief at the lies being told during the trials, it amazed me that they thought they could lie their way out of it but in the end they did get away with it, even some of the guilty sentences were far too light. Overall a very interesting book, I'll look out for more from this author.
