The horrors of the Holocaust are recalled in this chilling historical novel.

 

The story focuses on a naive SS officer named Blaz Schaffer, who is assigned guard duty at Auschwitz in Poland in 1944 after suffering an injury in battle. While stationed at the camp, he visits Solahütte, a nearby resort for German personnel, and he falls in love with Sara, a worker at the lodge.

 

Schaffer clashes with his fellow soldiers over their ruthless treatment of the camp prisoners, particularly the head guard, Wilhelm Gratzfirmer, a psychopathic Nazi who enjoys torturing and murdering the captives. He also runs afoul of Dr. Joseph Mengele, the notorious camp doctor who decides the fates of the prisoners as they arrive at the camp. As his injury heals and his time at the camp nears its end, Schaffer makes a fateful decision that changes the lives of those around him.
