THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO
AUSCHWITZ
Denis Avey, Rob Broomby
THE MAN
WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ is the extraordinary true
story of a British soldier who marched willingly
into Buna-Monowitz, the concentration camp known
as Auschwitz III.
In the summer of 1944,
Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp,
E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the
brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he
was determined to witness what he could.
He hatched a plan to swap places with a
Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector
of the camp. He spent the night there on two
occasions and experienced at first-hand the
cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been
sentenced to death through labour.
Astonishingly, he survived to witness the
aftermath of the Death March where thousands of
prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet
Army advanced. After his own long trek right
across central Europe he was repatriated to
Britain.
For decades he couldn't bring
himself to revisit the past that haunted his
dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the
full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving -
which offers us a unique insight into the mind of
an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage
are almost beyond belief.
