Summary
In 1942 the young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind’s darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz.
Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass breakout. This shocking story sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposes a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS and presents the largely unknown story of military POWs held there.

Shocking stories
The German nazi are the invention of mankind that puts me to shame being a human. Absolutely disgusting. The book caused me upset along with a few nightmares.
black lives matter is not a comparison against this tirade of neo nazi crimes that can never be forgiven.
The human race is disgusting

Disappointing
Having read Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and The Tattoo Artist of Auschwitz, I was very disappointed by this book. This is not so much a flowing narrative as an amassing of random recollections. There was very little content related to sabotage of Germany’s war effort. The latter part of the book is a collection of letters written in response to reading the book.

Humbling and eye opening.
It is with regret that I write that I had know idea that British and American prisoners of war, were also held within Auschwitz.
It is tragic that any of this happened in our lifetime. It is also tragic that I am struggling for the emotions of what to write.
I love learning about history. I never studied it at school. I feel humbled and in awe of these amazing individuals who had to suffer such hardship because of a maniac.
Nothing I write will do this any justice whatsoever.

A gripping account of British POWs at Auchwitz
It’s lesser known that there were British POWs at Auchwitz. This is a bold account of the bravery of young British lads in the war and how they were so keen to serve their country. They bore witness to the atrocities and were key in testifying and spreading awareness despite the mental trauma it caused.
I’ve recently been to Auchwitz and am reading all accounts I can of it and “The Saboteur of Auchwitz” is one of the best I’ve read.
A must read or listen for anyone interested in the Holocaust and also a good entry point for a first time reader on the subject.
I prefer non fiction accounts of the time to novels as they are more powerful and no less dramatic.
A powerful account of a time I hope is never repeated.

For the dead and the living we must bear witness
We all have a capacity for good and evil.
Since reading and listening to a lot on the world wars, both fiction based on true stories and non fiction. I have greatly increased my knowledge and understanding.
This account of an English POW in Auschwitz is an important account from a different angle and is just as important as the Jewish accounts.
I will not dwell in the horrors that each of these types of books brings, however it is something we must all bear witness too.
We all have a capacity of good and evil.
The indoctrination of the Nazi ideology into its people with the rise of the Nazi party in the early 1930’s left them with this choice.
This did make for many good people in Germany despite what was going on.
Thank you for this amazing detailed account, as well the end chapters with the other men’s experiences and testimonies.
Highly recommend this book, lest we forget those who gave their lives and all those who have given us our freedom today.

Great read
Interesting insight to the life in a concentration camp. Harrowing at times but fascinating to hear how some people can be so evil without and reasoning. A must read to anyone interested in their subject

We all need to know
Really heart rending, shocking how little we knew and were taught. Disappointing how poorly the POW were treated on return and shamful it continued and continued. Hopefully todays veterans are treated better
