Reviews

Sir Martin Gilbert
This is a most important book, and a timely reminder of the dangers that face any society once intolerance and racism take hold.
<i>Daily Express</i>
This memoir is an important contribution to a terrible chapter in history.
Henry Kamm, <i>New York Times</i> correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner
Denis is a hero in time of terror, a man of limitless moral and physical courage.
<i>Washington Jewish Week</i>
'This is the most amazing Holocaust memoir it's been my good fortune to read...this is a beautiful, uplifting book about a real ben adom, a mensch, who saw evil and, instead of averting his eyes, did what he could to help the victims'.
<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
an excellent memoir of survival.
<i>Kirkus</i>
A unique war story from a brave man.
<i>Press Association</i>
This is the incredible story of British soldier Denis Avey who broke into Auschwitz to uncover the horrors that were concealed there by the Nazis...This is a brutal account of what he experienced. There are some who doubt his story but don't let that ruin this extraordinary book.
<i>La revista de Ana Rosa</i> (Spain)
THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ will take your breath away.
