The MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ

THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ is by Denis Avrey, a British soldier who was captured by the Germans and imprisioned at a "work camp" next to Auschwitz, where thousands of Jews were killed during World War II.  The book describes the horrible conditions there -- and focuses on an unusual situation where he changed places twice with a Jewish man at the death camp.  What resulted is a gripping story that stretches out to the present day as Avery tries to connect with this prisoner's family.  Years after escaping from the death camp, he learns how his gift of a few cigarettes saved a man's life.
