Chilling testimony from an Auschwitz inmate forced to help the Nazi murder squads has finally been deciphered, thanks to painstaking detective work and digital imaging.
On scraps of notepaper Marcel Nadjari, a Greek Jew, described how thousands of Jews were herded into the gas chambers daily. He saw them "packed in like sardines".

"Nadjari's desire for revenge stands out - that's different from the other accounts. And he pays much attention to his family. For example, he specifies who he wants to receive his dead sister's piano."
Nadjari witnessed a desperate revolt by Sonderkommando members, led by captured Soviet soldiers, who tried to blow up at least some of the five crematoria, using stolen gunpowder.
The Nazis crushed them - and Nadjari was not among the mutineers, so he survived.
About 110 Sonderkommando members survived Auschwitz-Birkenau, most of them Polish Jews. In most cases they were desperate to forget these horrors - few wrote about their ordeal The Sonderkommandos were a tough bunch in their own right. Here's a cheerful flick I managed to watch....once. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVSvFZyPrGw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVSvFZyPrGw)
