In an untorn, gently shelfworn dust jacket. -- The album contains 55 contemporary portraits of concentration camp survivors accompanied by fragments of their camp memories. Diverse both in form and content, the memories convey a picture of life in the camps, of death and suffering, but also they tell of mutual help, kindness, and even love. The photographs and memories are complemented by biographical notes presenting the lives of the protagonists to the present day. The reader will find here a cross-section of nearly all groups of concentration camp survivors (Jews and Catholics, priests, Jehovah's Witnesses, communists and Home Army combatants, participants in the war of 1939, men captured during an attempt to get through to the Polish Army in France, Varsovians from the Warsaw Uprising, but also people who found themselves in the camps by pure chance). The album contains both figures known in public life (such as Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, Arnold Mostowicz or Józef Szajna), as well as ordinary people whose personal experiences are not known to the world. The authors managed to meet some exceptionally interesting survivors, including the barber of Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Höss; the only member of the Sonderkommando now living in Poland; a girl saved thanks to "Schindler's list"; the only survivor in Poland of the Sobibór camp, or Maria Borowska-Bayer, the heroine of Tadeusz Borowski's Farewell to Maria. The album is a unique historical source. In a moving way, using simple techniques, it presents the witnesses and participants of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.
