Publisher's Summary
The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into Buna-Monowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III. In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there, and he was determined to witness what he could. He 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 at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers had been sentenced to death through labour. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March in which 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.
For 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.

Well worth listening to
What did you love best about The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz?
Fascinating account. I enjoyed the additional autobiographical detail and it was easy to empathize with the author. Well written and authentically narrated. The story is so astonishing that at times I found myself wondering if it could be true but the details seemed sufficiently plausible and I was absorbed from beginning to end.
What other book might you compare The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz to and why?
None
Have you listened to any of Sean Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Surprisingly, a Gem
I was hesitant at first to read a story about the Holocaust by a person who was not one of the victims. He may have been brave to sneak into a death camp, but he was an observer and I was doubtful he would have much of significance to add to what others have told. Would his story just be a sort of "me too" effort to steal some of the thunder from the actual survivors? The book sat on my wishlist for a long time before I purchased it.
Even then, I found it hard to plod through much of the book as he retold the story of his experiences as a British soldier in WWII. It seemed that perhaps the title was just "click bait", as it were, although that is a bit unfair: life as a soldier was far from easy.
But if you, too, wonder, keep plowing through. There is something incredibly beautiful and human in this story of a man who, after suffering himself, reached out to help another, even though it seemed practically pointless.
He tells his story with a subtle humility. His story is told from the vantage point yes, of an observer, but yes, someone who was still part of the whole whirlwind which was the war. Avey lived a life with many ups and downs; he is not a "bigger than life" hero. He is an average person who somehow was able to score a point for our better natures.

Compelling. The author Avey embarked on a difficult journey as a soldier, but I read it for the light at the end of the tunnel. Recommended read if you’re looking for some hope in life.

THE EXCHANGE AND BOLDNESS TO CONFRONT AN SS SOLDIER
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
ONE FEELS HE IS TALKING DIRECTLY TO YOU.
Any additional comments?
ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE FACTS OF WW2 HISTORY SHOULD READ THIS STORY. IT IS BOTH HEART BREAKING AND UPLIFTING AND LEAVES ONE WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE THAT THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE PREPARED TO LOSE EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO HELP ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IN AN EXTREMELY BAD SITUATION. IT IS HARROWING AND INFORMATIVE AND I COULD'NT PUT IT DOWN. I THINK IT IS A MUST READ!

Eye Openeing
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
For all the WWII movies, and History Channel programmes, this audio book was an eye opener to the Actual Horrors experienced by One Denis Avey, a British POW. Very interesting, I could not stop listening.
What did you like best about this story?
A Journey of a man through the war. Not too much in depth detail day by day, but snippets of off the critical pieces over those years with just the right amount of detail as lived through and experienced by Avey.
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Awesome Narrator... Calm, soulful, meaningful delivery.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Horrified at the atrocities of the Concentration Camps.

Man's inhumanity to man.
Having just come back from Krakow and a vistit to Auschwitz this book was so so real. I could see the camps in my minds eye. Having wittnesed this and read the book I can honestly say it brings to light the horrors of the Solution. The way Dennis tells his story and relates, especially for me, the incident regarding the crying child, just makes you sick to the core. Although many soldiers dont like to talk about what they went through, I feel its so important that we keep the light burning about this period in our recent history. Especially for today's youth and tomorrows. After all, if not for Dennis and people like him....none of us may have ever existed. This book should be included as a must for historians of the period. A simple story but so well told. You will shed tears.

In the words of the man himself, a true account of real hero. It moved me laughter and sorrow. I found this story of one man's experience of the war to be enlightening and harrowing at the same time. Highly recommended.

Not entirely convinced...
I listened to this and to me it sounded implausible, I mean what are the chances of all of this happening? I did a Google search on Denis Avey and there are more than a few sites and articles questioning the authenticity of this story. In short, interesting, but I am sceptical.

Utterly enthralling
Could not stop listening to it. An absolutely amazing life and truly epic story. An incredible man with an incredible life story that was gripping, educational and highly emotional. This book will educate you and shows the power of positive thinking as well as the terrible arbitrary lottery of life and death during war. It will certainly have you in tears more than once or you are not human. Would give 6 stars if I could. The narration and language is absolutely first class. Top of my list.

Moving yet spellbinding
I visited Auschwitz several years ago and when I saw this book I felt compelled to read it and find out how someone survived the austerity within the camps. To think that people survived the treatment they endured is hard enough to grasp but to believe that someone put their own life in jeopardy to enable another to have a better chance of survival takes courage to a new dimension. Once I started listening I wanted to keep driving just so I could listen more. A compelling read and very informative.

The Yin and the Yang..
I do have one criticism of this amazing story. Denis Avey gives us an overlong preamble to the main events which - from the title - most people will be interested in. Though nevertheless an extraordinary incident, he actually only spent 2 nights in Auschwitz altogether. Yet the title seems to promise even more.
However, that is to criticise only the publishers, who obviously wish to establish a 'hook' that will entice people to go out and buy the book. The events narrated are incredible enough and, narrated in a 'stiff upper lip, old-school', utterly British way, manage to hold rapt the listener's attention. The central portion deals with Avey's time in a camp whose inmates - fed and housed according to the Geneva Convention, a million times better than the inhabitants of the adjacent Auschwitz - nevertheless have to work alongside those other striped-pajama inmates. It's a gruelling account, all the more so as told by an eye-witness.
Yet the most incredible section is perhaps the final one, where Avey becomes the subject of a documentary, whose producers set out to track down one or two of the people Avey encountered. The story of this search is both heartwarming and yet also poignant, as Avey realises that his postwar life might have turned out very differently if only he had not been himself so traumatised by the events he had witnessed and been an unwitting accomplice in.

Enjoyable as a story
but like some other a lot of the tale seems implausible. Notwithstanding, I am sure that a lot of truth is said in this audible book and I enjoyed it more as the book progressed but I am not sure if the last few chapters added anything. Read/listen and enjoy but don't take it too literally.

Forget ancient history at school. This book should be studied by every secondary school aged child. It will hopefully bring them to realise just how fortunate they are. Fascinating from the first 10 seconds. Easily the best audio book in my 3.5 years of listening.

Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.
