When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent nearly every Jew to Auschwitz. Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, a Jewish medical doctor, was spared death for a more grisly fate: to perform “scientific research” on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the infamous Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. Miraculously, Nyiszli lived to tell this horrifying true story in one of the first books to bring the full horror of the Nazi death camps to the American public.
