Since April is Genocide Awareness Month, I'd like to mention two of our books that should be in every Holocaust library collection. Both are available from online retailers and all major wholesalers, as well as from our distributor National Book Network, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.nbnbooks.com__;!!KGKeukY!jfDAfFSQ335Fl4sABnNlqnVrsKikmJKlOlQsGgU6782RucSbYjmjXGAjKZQAmfWkgX4$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.nbnbooks.com__;!!KGKeukY!jfDAfFSQ335Fl4sABnNlqnVrsKikmJKlOlQsGgU6782RucSbYjmjXGAjKZQAmfWkgX4$ >:
"The Auschwitz Volunteer: Beyond Bravery" by Captain Witold Pilecki, with a Foreword by Michael Schudrich, Chief Rabbi of Poland, and an Introduction by Prof. Norman Davies. The New York Times calls this award-winning book "a historical document of the greatest importance." Polish Army officer Witold Pilecki volunteered for a secret undercover mission for the Polish Underground: get himself arrested by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz, where he was to smuggle out reports for the Allies on what was going on and build a resistance organization among the prisoners. This is the first time that Pilecki's most comprehensive report on his undercover mission has been translated and published in English.

Prof. Polonsky calls it "the definitive study of the topic." This award-winning book examines the various prisoners' resistance organizations inside Auschwitz and the overall evolution of Auschwitz from a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners to a death camp for Jews. The author was himself a member of the Polish Underground, arrested by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz.
