Translated by Whissen (Wright State Univ.), this oral history is organized chronologically by camp experience from deportation to liberation. Topics include internment, camp regulations, life in the camps (e.g., labor, sanitary conditions), medical experiences, execution, and the number of dead. The book also includes a list of camps, command posts, and prisons that were used as places of incarceration. The reader will gain from this compilation a vivid and horrifying sense of what life was like in a concentration camp. Recommended for World War II collections.?Mary F. Salony, West Virginia Northern Community Coll. Lib., Wheeling Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review "Aroneanu, a Romanian, was assigned the task of drawing up the first lists of Nazi atrocities in 1945 for use at the Nuremberg war crime trials. This book is the result of his research. The 100 eyewitness testimonies by concentration camp survivors are intermixed, arranged by subject matter to reflect the chronology of the camps from deportations to liberation... [The survivors] speak of unbelievable horror... No other work documents these crimes against humanity as vividly and powerfully as this one."-Booklist ... 5.0 out of 5 stars Translation and Oral History at its Very Best Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 1998 It is hard to believe that this book is only now available in English. Consisting entirely of eye-witness accounts of life in German concentration camps, **the work served as an important source of evidence during the Nazi trials.** The accounts, however, are compiled so that they form a narrative that is roughly chronological, beginning with the experience of deportation and ending with the grim business of counting bodies. In between lies the whole experience of the prisoner: the forced and brutalizing work, the whimsical or studied methods of torture, the grisly medical experiments, the routine executions, the gasing of ever larger groups, the ovens that burned night and day, and constantly, throughout the story, the capricious beating, kicking and whipping. Primo Levi, who wrote so eloquently about the danger of forgetting, would have appreciated this book. And Thomas Whissen, the translator, has performed an admirable and selfless job. He has rendered this story in a language that is so clear, so transparent, that one forgets that one is reading words on a page. The book leaves one feeling bruised and battered, and not quite willing to go back into a world of comforts. It leaves one deeply suspicious of humanity. And this perhaps is a good thing. Incidentally, it is difficult to imagine a book better suited for university courses on the holocaust.

In the mid-1930s he emigrated to Paris . When the Second World War broke out in September 1939 , he directed radio broadcasts to Romania and when France was occupied in 1940 he joined the Resistance and operated underground under the name Aréne . In 1943 he managed to escape to Switzerland . **Aroneanu wrote 58 publications. In 1945 he was given the task of documenting the Nazi war atrocities for the Nuremberg Trials** . In addition, he drafted a corresponding legal plea with the intention of extending the indictment of the treatment of the extermination of the Jews, intended primarily by the British, merely as a crime against peace and war crimes, to include the new territory of crimes against humanity under international law .
