Anus mundi Book

My wife and I visited Poland a few years ago. In Kazimierz, the"Jewish Quarter" of Krakow (With no Jews alive there...) We came across a shop there - and got this book in German "Anus Mundi"- memoirs of Auschwitz so I bought it, This is in
Latin and means "asshole of the world"... It is not of course the first memoir I've read about Auschwitz, but I have always read books written by Jews. For me this book is unique in the sense that it was written by a Polish Christian. Wiesław Kielar a Polish that was arrested on charges of underground activity in Tarnow, and was immediately sent on a transport to Auschwitz. In fact he was among the first prisoners of that concentration camp. What's amazing is that after a long odyssey of hardships during and beyond, he did stay alive... I have to explain that the food rations the prisoners received were too small for an inmate to survive it! So having someone survived there for over a year was in itself a miracle. It also proved to me more accurately certain facts: Not only Jews were killed there ... It turns out that Auschwitz "selections" were for everyone... Prisoners who became "Moslems" (" walking skeletons" in the camp idiom) were sent directly to the gas-chambers and it really did not matter if they were Jewish, Polish Christians or any other nationals... Sometimes whole patients in the hospital ward of the camp were sent to the crematorium and there was no difference whoever they were…
Russian prisoners of war were also killed in various ways.... And if I'm talking about "different ways" This are not just gas chambers… According to the book "patients" and others were often murdered by injecting " Phenol injections ", and also the "old methods" of gunshots... But one can say that systematic starvation of all prisoners was ultimately also one way of indirect murder.
Auschwitz described here as a Hell, "another planet," ordinary human laws were not applied there. Only the strongest, criminals, and resourceful survive it
Wiesław Kielar "touched death" a few times and the fact that he survived the camp, and later his deportation to Germany in terrible conditions, is no less than a miracle. This is an excellent book! It could be obtain in English too ... I highly recommend it!
