Documenting the best and the worst of humanity, it is a unique and timeless story that reminds us of what we as humans are capable of, but that there is hope, even in Hell. Last Stop Auschwitz is an extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, a near real-time record of the daily struggle to survive but also of the flickering moments of joy Eddy and Friedel found in each other - passing notes through the fence, sometimes stealing a brief embrace. Finding a notebook and pencil, he began to write with furious energy about his experiences. Eddy hid under a pile of old clothes and stayed behind. As the end of the war approached and the Russian Army drew closer, the last Nazis fled, taking many prisoners with them, including Friedel.
For Friedel, it meant avoiding the Nazis' barbaric medical experiments. For Eddy, this meant negotiating with the volatile guards in the medical barracks. Expected delivery to the United States in 6-9 business days.
