The road to hell

Mehr zum Buch

This is the story of Joseph Freeman -- one of the few survivors of the infamous death marches that took place in the last months of World War II, when the Russians from the East and the other allies from the West were closing in. Panicked, and yet still ruthlessly attempting to bring about the Final Solution, the Nazis forced their prisoners out of their killing centers on Polish soil -- Auschwitz-Birkenau among them -- and marched them westward. Half-starved and weakened by the horrors they had endured in the camps, many more prisoners died in the grueling marches.
