Research Paper This Way to Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski, was a very vivid and gruesome reading it showed the horrors and terrors of the inhumane acts the S.S. men had done during World War II in the concentration camps.

Army Infantryman he stated “Concentration camps were in a category in and of themselves they were of such magnitude that it is beyond comprehension more than the human mind can even conceive of. I happen to be witness to two each one was worse than the one before. When you first come across it you look but you don’t see, you listen but you don’t hear your mind closes down we talked to them and they would cry, they were beyond having a voice most of them tried to reach out and just try to touch you with a fingertip anything just to ensure in their minds that what they were looking at on the other side of the wire was real.

We made a convenient with them they said ‘promise me you will never let the world forget what you’re seeing here’ having seeing a concentration camp it has had a bigger impact on my life than anything I have ever seen, thought or have done.” To the readers long after the time of WWII what better way can you describe a true story than with true facts. The author spares no expense to the reader in showing the details and paints very vivid images in one’s head in an article related to Borowski’s story written by Tony Mckibbin titled; Implicating Prose “In the introduction to Borowski’s collection, Jan Kott quotes Borowski saying, “It is impossible to write about Auschwitz impersonally. The first duty of Auschwitzers is to make clear just what a camp is…But let them not forget that the reader will unfailingly ask: But how did it happen that you survived?” Borowski adds, “A portion of the sad fame belongs to you as well.” In my opinion in order to truly show and express any event in history the more detail the better. The more in depth and factual the more of an understanding one can achieve
