He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and was determined to witness what he could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced firsthand the cruelty of a place where slave workers had been sentenced to death through labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAstonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March, where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe, he was repatriated to Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story—a tale as gripping as it is moving—which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850337407212,"sku":"9781444714197","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10137393482702.jpg?v=1759082344"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/denis-avey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
