More about the book
The Sonderkommando was established in Auschwitz in 1942 by the SS. Ca. 2,100 prisoners worked in the unit at various times; 100 of them survived. These prisoners became robot-like creatures who received the victims in the gas chambers and helped them undress, then searched the cadavers and burned them. They learned that, in order to survive, a human being is capable of unimaginable acts. After the war, like other survivors, they feared a confrontation with traumatic memory; however, unlike them, they remained silent due to a deep feeling of guilt.
