The best and worst book I have ever read. It will answer all of your questions. This guy was Dr. Mengeles right hand man. Though he only did it to survive.

Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account has been one of my favorite memoirs about Auschwitz. The doctor is spared in order to help Mengele.

Check out this book by Miklos Nyiszli. He was a Hungarian Jew taken to Auschwitz and made to work for Joseph Mengele. His work was a major source in my undergrad capstone research and details many duties of the Sonderkommando. It's an excellent read!

I think part of it is that is a copy (that seems to be one) printed by Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. I'd think that if you're going to the Auschwitz Memorial/Museum and picking up a copy, not a lot of people are going to sell them?

This translation is easier to get a hold of.

There actually were a few. Not huge numbers, but the book Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account was written by a guy who did autopsies for Mengele.

Obviously your overall point is indeed correct, in that of course the state doesn't give a shit about the cause of death in people deliberately killed by the state, but some records do exist. Naturally, they've been faked by the reptilian Jewish overlords.

A good book to read on the subject of Auschwitz is,

Be prepared to cry a lot. It's awful and hard to read about it. Also, they did kill a lot of people on arrival.

I suggest reading Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account. It is a very chilling account of a Jewish pathologist working for the SS in the camps. I recently finished it before seeing these pictures, and they hit a nerve.

At one point he describes boiling the flesh off some corpses to obtain skeletons for research, and some prisoners actually started to eat some of the meat because they were so hungry. Sad stuff.

An account of a jew who was spared of extermination because he performed surgeries on other jews caught in the Nazi's human experiments

PART TWO OF TWO

(HOW DID MERMELSTEIN'S FATHER DIE? COUNT THREE WAYS)

• 1969 German Consulate, Los Angeles: during evacuation marches to Blechhammer from other camps
  
• 1979 "By Bread Alone": died in bed after working himself to death, trading food for cigarettes
  
• 1981 deposition: died of overwork and exhaustion
  
• 1985 deposition: exhaustion, cruelty, starvation and beatings
  
• other accounts: gassed at Auschwitz
  
  (MERMELSTEIN CARRIED BODIES FROM THE GAS CHAMBER TO THE CREMATORIA?)
  
  During Mermelstein's time in Auschwitz (May 21 - July 1, 1944), his account differed
  
  
• 1969: no occupation
  
• 1981: just some detail work, no physical work
  
• 1987: Ed Koch (New York Mayor) said he met Mermelstein during a tour of Auschwitz and was told "I was part of the special detail which hauled the bodies from the gas chamber and took them to the crematoria."
  
  (MERMELSTEIN WENT SWIMMING IN BLOOD?)
  
  
• Camp guards would kill an inmate if they didn't like the shape of your nose (suggesting his own nose was not unattractive)
  
• Bread was given not for nourishment but to kill inmates as fast as they expected them to die
  
• Mermelstein claimed to have gone swimming in blood despite claiming the tranportation to Buchenwald was "only for one purpose" (to be disposed of in the crematorium rather than "litter the beautiful towns and cities with our bodies"
  
• In 1981 deposition claimed to have personally known Dr. Miklos Nyiszli (Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account) and that Nyiszli would testify on his behalf about Mengele (but... Nyiszli had already died in 1956, some 25 years ago)
  
  (MERMELSTEIN'S SISTERS WERE STILL ALIVE AFTER HE ALLEGED THEY WERE GASSED)
  
  Mermelstein alleged his sisters had died in May 1944 and personally saw them being taken to the gas chamber but IHR found a German document dated October 12, 1944, or five months after their supposed deaths, listing 500 Jewish females being transported to Altenburg. Their names were Edith Mermelstein and Magda Mermelstein, the very same names of his sisters though their date of birth was not exactly as Mermelstein gave in his book.
  
  (GASSINGS WERE A NEW STORY)
  
  IHR proprosed that Mermelstein created the story about the gassing of his mother and sisters only after learning of IHR's reward since there was no mention prior to 1980 and in fact the first ever mention was in his letters attacking IHR in the summer of 1980.
  
  His book in 1979, statement to Auschwitz State Museum in 1967, sworn affidavit at the German Consulate in Los Angeles in 1969... none mention anything about witnessing any gassing. Prior to 1979 all detailed press accounts about his industrious activity as a lecturer, exhibitor of artifacts and museum proprietor never mention the story of the gassing of his mother and sisters.
  
  (THE SECOND TRIAL)
  
  The trial judge was Stephen Lachs, Jewish, the first avowed gay judge in California history and a member of American Civil Liberties Union. Despite Mermelstein's attorneys trying to appeal to the judge's Jewish backgrounds, Judge Lachs was a conscientious and impartial judge.
  
  Von Eches caved in at the last minute fearing ruin and paid $100,000 to Mermelstein along with an apology stating that Jews had been gassed at Auschwitz and millions more had perished in Auschwitz and other camps at the hands of the Germans.
  
  Hulsy's 49 pre-trial motions helped withstand and counter Mermelstein's case by his three lawyers (Lawrence Heller, Peter Bersin and Jeff Mausner)
  
  (PUBLIC FIGURE)
  
  Mermelstein refused to consider himself as a public figure. Mark Lane was able to lead him into making damaging admissions one by one that he was a:
  
  
• published author
  
• founder of "Auschwitz Study Foundation" (non-profit educational organization)
  
• curator of a Holocaust museum
  
• willing subject of scores of newspaper and magazine stories, radio and television interviews (i.e. a media star)
  
• eager accumulator of plaudits (praise) and testimonials from state and local governments, and laurels from Israel's PM Begin (political honoree)
  
• lecturer who has spoken some two decades at numerous colleges, high schools, synagogues, etc across the United States
  
  When asked how many lectures he has given on Auschwitz before 1985, Mermelstein said as many as "the fingers on my hands". Lane shows a typed list signed by Mermelstein of over 30 lectures given in 18 months in 1981-1982. Mermelstein then tried to be crafty and say he might have lectured more than once at the same place.
  
  After a break for lunch, O'Keefe recalled a deposition from 1985 where Mermelstein stated he gave an average of 20 lectures a year on Auschwitz since 1967 (i.e. 20 lectures multiplied by 18 years is some 360 lectures given). When presented with this, Mermelstein blurted "I mean the fingers of my hand and feet!" Bersin conceded that Mermelstein's status was that of a public figure.
  
  (MERMELSTEIN'S SUIT IS DISMISSED)
  
  Several days later, Judge Lachs, reviewing Mermelstein's characterization of IHR's 1985 settlement (on a New York City radio broadcast) claiming that IHR had signed the 1981 judicial notice of gassing at Auschwitz, declared it could be interpreted as defamatory and that IHR had probable cause to sue Mermelstein in 1986. Judge Lachs ruled in favor of IHR and dismissed Mermelstein's malicious prosecution complaint on September 19, 1991.
  
  Mermelstein voluntarily dismissed his libel and conspiracy complaints soon afterwards, his appeal of the ruling was unanimously rejected by the California Court of Appeal (Nott, Gates, Fukuto) on October 28, 1992, putting an end to the 11 year legal battle.
