Timothy W. Ryback spent 8 years traveling to Dachau, home of one of the first concentration camps in Germany. Rybak's aim was to understand what it was like to live in a town with such a horrible history. Upon his first visit the author met Martin Zaidenstadt, a Dachau survivor. Martin spent his days stationed in front of the crematorium at Dachau. He stood, day after after day, telling his story and rebuking the claims of the administrator's of the Dachau site, who claimed that the gas chamber had never been used.
Ryback does tell the stories of the people who currently resided in Dachau. However, Zaidenstadt became an obsession for him. Over 200,000 names were registered as prisoners at Dachau. In trying to confirm Martin's story, the author could find no trace of him in the records. For 8 years Ryback traveled back to Dachau and other cities in Poland and Germany, searching for Martin's lost history.
This is a small book that packs a big punch. It is not for the squeamish. There are many descriptive entries of the atrocities that took place in the camp.
Recommended for those who love a well re-searched non-fiction.… (mer)
