The author, who was a survivor of the concentration camps, describes the atrocities committed by the Nazis and their collaborators. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the events leading up to the Holocaust, including the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, the Nuremberg Laws, and the Kristallnacht. The second part focuses on the concentration camps, including Auschwitz, where the author was imprisoned. Szende provides a firsthand account of the brutal conditions in the camps, including the forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. He also describes the resistance efforts of the prisoners and the role of the Sonderkommandos, who were responsible for disposing of the bodies of the victims.
