Description

The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz is the abnormal true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into the concentration camp, Buna-Monowitz, referred to as Auschwitz III.
 
In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was once being held in a British POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was once decided to witness what he could.
 
He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced to start with-hand the cruelty of a spot where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labor.
 
Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was once repatriated to Britain.
 
For decades he couldn’t bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels ready to inform the full story—a tale as gripping as it’s moving—which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an atypical man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.
