1943: Polish underground fighter John Wiernicki is captured and beaten by the Gestapo, then shipped to Auschwitz. In this chilling memoir, Wiernicki, a Gentile, details "life" in the infamous death camp, and his battle to survive, physically and morally, in the face of utter evil. The author begins by remembering his aristocratic youth, an idyllic time shattered by German invasion. The ensuing dark days of occupation would fire the adolescent Wiernicki with a burning desire to serve Poland, a cause that led him to valiant action and eventual arrest.

As a young non-Jew, Wiernicki was acutely sensitive to the depravity and injustice that engulfed him at Auschwitz. He bears witness to the harrowing selection and extermination of Jews doomed by birth to the gas chambers, to savage camp policies, brutal SS doctors, and rampant corruption with the system. He notes the difference in treatment between Jews and non-Jews. And he relives fearful unexpected encounters with two notorious "Angels of Death": Josef Mengele and Heinz Thilo.

War in the Shadow of Auschwitz is an important historical and personal document. Its vivid portrait of prewar and wartime Poland, and of German concentration camps, provides a significant addition to the growing body of testimony by gentile survivors and a heartfelt contribution to fostering comprehension and understanding.

Ultimate Relief for Dry Skin!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased the Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion for my husband, and it has quickly become a household favorite! If you're on the hunt for a fast-absorbing, effective solution for dry or cracked skin, look no further. First and foremost, the speed at which this lotion absorbs into the skin is impressive. No greasy residue, just instant relief. My husband, who is usually hesitant about using lotions, loves how this one doesn't leave a sticky or oily feeling. It's a game-changer for him, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the moisture levels of his skin. The healing properties are remarkable. His hands, which are prone to dryness and cracking, have become noticeably softer and smoother since using this lotion. The formula is gentle yet powerful, making it an ideal solution for daily use without causing any irritation. The subtle, masculine fragrance is another plus. It's not overpowering but leaves a fresh and clean scent that lingers just enough. The pump dispenser is practical and ensures that the lotion is dispensed in the right quantity, preventing unnecessary waste. The size of the bottle is generous, offering great value for the price. With daily use, the lotion has lasted longer than expected, proving that a little goes a long way. It has become a staple in my husband's grooming routine, and I can confidently say that his skin has never looked or felt better. In conclusion, Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion is a five-star product that delivers on its promises. If you're searching for a reliable, fast-absorbing lotion for dry or cracked skin, this is the one. My husband is a satisfied customer, and we'll definitely be repurchasing in the future.

Works great, smells good, and does not leave you feeling slimy or greasy.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This stuff is the best for men who do not like feeling greasy when they use lotion. It works good for healing and preventing cracking and drying of skin, but it may have to be applied multiple times a day for people with very dry skin.

Great price for a product that I have used and liked for years. Lotion dries quickly and has nice masculine scent. In addition to moisturizing my hands, I also use it for aftershave lotion on my face.

Lot of Waste but Great Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have eczema and have tried dozens of lotions, and this one works great for me. The reason I have settled on this one is that it works great for my skin, not greasy, and I like the smell, not being too strong and feminine like most lotions. My only complaint is that there is a ton of leftover lotion in the bottom that the pump can't reach. I have the cut the bottle open each time so I don't waste it.
