Return to Auschwitz is a harrowing, eyewitness account of the horrors of possibly the world’s worst-ever concentration and extermination camp. It tells of the calculated humiliation of the inmates, the constant, insatiable hunger, the ruthless SS guards, and the regular deportations to the gas chambers of millions of Jews. Remarkably, it also tells of the struggle for survival of one woman - a young Polish girl - and her return many years later to the site of her persecution.
Return to Auschwitz has been adapted (in 1978) into an award-winning TV documentary - which is available on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XggMFlZ5ze8
