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, 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.

The book tells of a man who is deserving of more acclaim and being brought to the nations attention.Stumbled upon this book and what a read.A man of such standing that he and his fellows put the Great into Britain.He almost did not make it through the experiences but what a guy-read it and it has the wow factor.Respect.

 Truly incredible

I was given the book to read as I was fortunate to grow up in the same village where Dennis lived for part of his life and never realised that one of the roads was named after his family - I do now. The insight he gives in this book is almost too hard to believe even though we know it happened, and yet he chose to experience it in order to understand it. I cannot recommend this book enough.
