Reviews

Sir Martin Gilbert
This is a most important book, and a timely reminder of the dangers that face any society once intolerance and racism take hold.
<i>Daily Express</i>
This memoir is an important contribution to a terrible chapter in history.
Henry Kamm, <i>New York Times</i> correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner
Denis is a hero in time of terror, a man of limitless moral and physical courage.
<i>Washington Jewish Week</i>
'This is the most amazing Holocaust memoir it's been my good fortune to read...this is a beautiful, uplifting book about a real ben adom, a mensch, who saw evil and, instead of averting his eyes, did what he could to help the victims'.
<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
an excellent memoir of survival.
<i>Kirkus</i>
A unique war story from a brave man.
<i>Press Association</i>
This is the incredible story of British soldier Denis Avey who broke into Auschwitz to uncover the horrors that were concealed there by the Nazis...This is a brutal account of what he experienced. There are some who doubt his story but don't let that ruin this extraordinary book.

THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ will take your breath away.
