Report on Concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau based on testimonies of two escaped Slovak Jews: "The following report does not mention everything these two men endured during their captivity, but only what was suffered, or heard, by one or the other, or by both of them, or what they witnessed directly. It contains no impressions, no individual judgments, nor anything passed on by hearsay. The report begins with the story of the young Jew who was taken from Sered. The narration of what he suffered at Birkenau begins with the second Jew who arrived at that camp, and is therefore based on the statements of both men. It is followed by the personal story of the second Jew, who was sent from Novaky to Lublin, and from there to Auschwitz." Published under military censorship.
