It's hard for me to attribute characteristics to this book: How can I call a book which at times made me almost physically sick great or wonderful? But at the same time it is just that. Bei uns in Auschwitz should be a mandatory read, especially in times like ours, when populists for the far right are on the rise again and lots of young people obviously seem to have little idea of what happened during the Nazi Regime while still others are denying the Holocaust. Bei uns in Auschwitz is a semi-autobiographical collection of short stories by Tadeusz Borowski. He was a political Prisoner at Auschwitz and later at Dachau. The books gives most interesting insights into life at the camps. The style is very matter of fact and sometimes makes you even laugh, something stories from concentration camps don't do too often. The book includes all the stories from [b:This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen|228244|This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen|Tadeusz Borowski|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361813564l/228244._SY75_.jpg|221052] (with one exception) plus a number of other short works, most of them set after the liberation of the camps.
