Za kazdym numerem wytatuowanym na przedramieniu, kryje sie tajemnica. Ta wyszla na jaw dopiero 75 lat po Auschwitz. Czy mozna byc bohaterem i tchorzem zarazem? Fatalnym mezem i jeszcze gorszym ojcem a jednak zasluzonym patriota? Jaka jest najwyzsza cena, ktora mozna zaplacic za Polske? Stefania Stawowy doswiadczyla piekla na wlasnej skorze. Bedac zona slynnego partyzanta AK, trafila za niego do Auschwitz. Zakladniczka i ofiara „meskiej” wojny, sama znalazla sie na froncie. Jej wojna to obozowe baraki, place apelowe i kilometry drutow pod napieciem. Glod, selekcja i ciagle zagrozenie smiercia. Paniczny strach o dzieci, wyrzuty sumienia i bol. A jednak przetrwala. Przeszla przez pieklo Auschwitz, Ravensbruck, Flossenburg. Przezyla „marsz smierci” do Zwodau. Duza w tym zasluga Jurgena – straznika-esesmana, ktory jak ona zostawil w domu dwie male coreczki. To, co ich polaczylo, to jeszcze przyjazn czy juz milosc. Tego nie napisal zaden scenarzysta, te historie napisalo zycie. Pragne by swiat zrozumial, ze prawdziwymi bohaterami nie zawsze sa ci, stawiani na cokolach. My kobiety, zazwyczaj ciche i skromne, wspierajace mezczyzn na frontach ich zyciowej walki, aktorki drugiego planu, wielokrotnie placilysmy najwyzsza cene za slawe naszych ojcow, mezow i synow. Ewa

This is a unique, eye-witness account of everyday life right at the heart of the Nazi extermination machine. Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a ‘Sonderkommando', without realising what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the ‘special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, ‘Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale – but, as a member of a ‘Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story.
