The diary of an unnamed, twenty-year-old man who spent almost a year in the Auschwitz concentration camp; he was released in a hopeless condition, with a bruised kidney, exhausted to the extreme.
An eyewitness describes the entire process, from accidental arrest in a street raid through arrest, transport and placement in a camp. He presents living conditions, torturer practices, punishments, roll calls, hunger and work - which, contrary to the well-known slogan above the gate, Arbeit macht frei (work sets you free), is subject to particular degradation due to its senselessness and focus on exhaustion and humiliation of prisoners. He also shows interpersonal relationships, examples of heroic attitudes and unworthy behaviour.

This text was developed by Halina Krahelska in her characteristic style of fictionalized reportage, strictly based on facts and accounts. Published anonymously in Warsaw in April 1942 by the Publishing House of the
Propaganda Commission of the Office of Information and Propaganda of the Home Army Headquarters under the title Auschwitz. A Prisoner's Diary - it was to be a testimony to what the Nazi concentration camps were.
