Smoke Over Bierkanał

Book •
"Smoke Over Birkenau" by Seweryna Szmaglewska provides a harrowing account of life inside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

As a Polish Catholic inmate, Szmaglewska offers a unique perspective on the camp's inner workings and the experiences of its prisoners.

Written shortly after her liberation, the book presents a vivid and unflinching portrayal of the daily horrors, suffering, and acts of resistance within the camp.

Szmaglewska's narrative sheds light on the experiences of the non-Jewish prisoners and their interactions with the Jewish inmates.

It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
