A survivor of Auschwitz who worked in the gassing installations and crematoria tells of the Jews he saw brought to the house of death to be burned to ashes and recounts his suicide attempt and the cruelty of the SS guard who prevented it. Filip Müller (3 January 1922 9 November 2013) was a Jewish Slovak Holocaust survivor and a member of the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz, the largest Nazi German concentration camp during World War II, where he witnessed the murders of tens of thousands of people. Müller was assigned to a Sonderkommando unit tasked with operating the killing facilities; his performing this role, he believed, was the only reason the Germans kept him alive. Müller says he came to believe that he had a duty to stay alive so that he could become a living witness to the horrors of the Holocaust. Filip Müller came to Auschwitz with one of the earliest transports from Slovakia in April 1942 and began working in the gassing installations and crematoria in May. He was still alive when the gassings ceased in November 1944. He saw millions come and disappear; by sheer luck he survived. Müller is neither a historian nor a psychologist; he is a sourceone of the few prisoners who saw the Jewish people die and lived to tell about it. Eyewitness Auschwitz is one of the key documents of the Holocaust. First Scarborough Books Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.
