Dobrou noc, Osvětimi - Svědectví přeživších vězňů – Wójciková Aleksandra (2021)

One of the prisoners collapses from exhaustion during work. The kapo beats him to death and orders Stefan to carry his remains on his back while still singing. "I've been carrying that prisoner for several decades and I can't bring him..." recalls Stefan Lipniak about his nightmare. The authors describe five very different stories of people who survived the hell of the Auschwitz concentration camp. What they experienced there cannot be described in words. And yet, they decided to speak out. About what they lived through and how this cruel experience from the extermination camp Auschwitz marked their further lives. JÓZEF PACZYŇSKI, the barber of commander Rudolf Höss. He will have to answer for his life to the question of why he didn't cut his throat. MARCELI GODLEWSKI, a member of the Home Army. After many months of interrogations, he ends up in a camp, from which he escapes at the first opportunity. LIDIA MAKSYMOWICZOVÁ, imprisoned as a three-year-old girl. A frightened child hiding under a bunk from the gaze of Dr. Mengele. KAROL TENDEDA, infected with typhus during medical experiments. He will never come to terms with the fact that it is possible to speak without consequence about "Polish extermination camps." STEFAN LIPNIAK, forty-four months behind the wires. His entire youth. He doesn't talk much about it because life is not just a camp.
