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 that haunted his
dreams, 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.
