Most of the events described here did not take place in the large
and famous camps, but in the small ones where most of the real
extermination took place. This story is not about the suʃering and
death of great heroes and martyrs, nor is it about the prominent
Capos—prisoners who acted as trustees, having special privileges—
or well-known prisoners. Thus it is not so much concerned with the
suʃerings of the mighty, but with the sacriɹces, the cruciɹxion and
the deaths of the great army of unknown and unrecorded victims.

To attempt a methodical presentation of the subject is very
diʃcult, as psychology requires a certain scientiɹc detachment. But
does a man who makes his observations while he himself is a
prisoner possess the necessary detachment? Such detachment is
granted to the outsider, but he is too far removed to make any
statements of real value. Only the man inside knows. His judgments
may not be objective; his evaluations may be out of proportion. This
is inevitable. An attempt must be made to avoid any personal bias,
and that is the real diʃculty of a book of this kind. At times it will be
necessary to have the courage to tell of very intimate experiences.
