Blurb (from book jacket): "In 1943, the height of German occupation of the Netherlands, Eddy de Wind volunteered to work at Westerbork, a transit camp for Jews where his mother had been taken by Nazis, in the ultimately fruitless hope of saving her. while there, he fell in love with and married a young nurse named Friedel. But not long after, they were transported to Auschwitz and separated-Eddy to work as a medical assistant in one barrack, Friedel at the mercy of Nazi experimentation in a nearby block. Sneaking moments with his beloved and communicating whenever they could, Eddy longed for the day he could be free with her..."
Opinion: A sad but decent read. First English translation edition. An interesting inside look at the medical side of the concentration camp.
