Das Buch des israelischen Historikers erregte bei seinem Erscheinen im Jahre 1995 großes Aufsehen. Der Autor beschreibt die schreckliche »Arbeit« der »Sonderkommandos« in Auschwitz, die lange Zeit nahezu unbekannt war, da niemand von ihnen am Leben bleiben sollte. Sie bestanden fast ausschließlich aus jüdischen Häftlingen. Sie wurden gezwungen, die zum Tode Verurteilten bis zur Gaskammer zu begleiten und dabei für einen ruhigen Ablauf zu sorgen, nach der Vergasung die Leichen aus den Gaskammern zu schleppen, auf verbliebene Wertgegenstände zu untersuchen und die Goldzähne herauszubrechen, die Gaskammern zu säubern, die Leichen zu verbrennen, die Knochenreste zu Staub zu zerstoßen und danach die Asche zu beseitigen. Gideon Greif hat sieben Überlebende der »Sonderkommandos« von Auschwitz-Birkenau interviewt. 50 Jahre nach der Befreiung legen sie erstmals Zeugnis über ihre unbeschreibliche Aufgabe ab. Das Buch enthält eine ausführliche historische Einführung des Autors und alle Interviews in vollem Wortlaut mit kurzen Einleitungen und Anmerkungen. Es wird so zu einem unübersehbaren Dokument wider das Vergessen.
