Eye Witness Account Of British P.O.W. in Auschwitz.

For some time it was a common misconception that no British Prisoners Of War were imprisoned in Auschwitz.It was largely understood that the vast majority of prisoners at Auschwitz-Birkenau were innocent Jews with the remainder consisting of political prisoners, gypsies etc..Whilst this is largely true, Arthur Dodd was in fact one of a number of British soldiers actually incarcerated there.Here he outlines his own personal experiences and the suffering that he witnessed with his own eyes. The wholesale, indiscriminate massacres of Jews, women and children. Some of the events described are heart-breaking. For some time Arthur Dodd kept his experiences to himself. When he initially spoke of them publicly, no-one really wanted to hear. This book is a must read.
