The Dentist Of Auschwitz by Jacobs, Benjamin
A Memoir
A harrowing first-person memoir by a Jewish dentist deported to Nazi concentration camps, tracing his life from prewar practice through ghettoization, internment at Auschwitz-Birkenau and other camps, and eventual liberation. He describes being forced to work in camp dental facilities—treating prisoners under brutal conditions, confronting the removal and handling of teeth from the dead, and navigating wrenching moral compromises—all while trying to survive hunger, disease, and random violence. Interwoven with detailed professional observations are intimate accounts of loss, fear, small acts of compassion, and the long psychological aftermath of atrocity, offering a sober testimony to resilience and the burden of memory.
