This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

Author: Tadeusz Borowski

Tadeusz Borowski’s concentration camp stories, published in Poland after World War II, are based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau. In spare, brutal prose, he describes a world where the will to survive overrides compassion, and prisoners eat, work, and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket, or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes.
