The story of a former prisoner who testified at the Nuremberg Trials. Unlike the millions who perished, the author of this book miraculously survived, enduring all the circles of hell in Nazi concentration camps, and testified at the Nuremberg Trials that convicted the leaders of the Third Reich. This is a chilling account of the horrors of the concentration camps, the atrocities of the Nazis, and the most heinous crimes of Nazism.

Severina Shmaglevskaya's experiences in Birkenau served as material for a book written immediately after the war and translated into many languages.
