Preface
M
y mother's mother was from Cracow, thirty miles from Auschwitz, and I must assume that if
she (and my other grandparents) hadn't left in the i890s and sailed to America, that I’d have been sent
to Auschwitz in the 1940s. I'd have been about twelve years old. Like other boys then, I’d have been
wearing a drab gray suit and a flat gray "golfer" cap, and I'd have stepped from the train with my
mother, father, and freckle-cheeked sister nine years old, and onto the concrete platform inside of the
Auschwitz wires. As it happened, I didn't go to Auschwitz until ten years ago, when I was almost sixty
and it was safe to do so. I stood on the wide concrete platform and stared at the tracks where the train
would have been, but I couldn’t picture myself getting off it. I tried, but the "when, where and what” of
Auschwitz were so remote from my own remembered world that I felt I was trying to see myself as I or
my atoms were just before the Big Bang.
I'd read about Auschwitz, and I knew that Mengele would have been on this platform that day,
and I went to where he'd have stood. I knew he'd have told my mother and father, "Go right," and my
sister and me, "Go left,” but I still couldn't picture it. I went to the ruins of the dressing room—the
undressing room—then of the cyanide chamber, which now had no roof and was full of old roof-
components, of dirt, grass and dandelions, and (as I looked closely) of tiny white chips of bone that, in
the 1940s, had fallen there from the sky. Again, I tried to picture my sister and me in this cyanide
chamber, undressed, our two bodies touching and one thousand people around us, all screaming, the
gas coming down upon us, and I simply couldn't see it, my mind had no hook that could hold it, I
might as well have been groping for "Why does the universe exist? What if it didn’t?" I left without
taking notes, but I remember that I felt some sympathy for the men and women who say that the
Holocaust didn’t happen. The people who say it are fools, maybe worse, but I can commiserate with
them. The thought the Holocaust did, indeed, happen is too enormous for one little volleball
[x] brain.
I'd come to Auschwitz and this part of Poland to research this book. I had heard of a Jewish girl,
Lola, who, after onc-and-one-half years at Auschwitz, had turned the Holocaust upside-down by
becoming the commandant of the big prison for Germans at Gleiwitz, thirty miles away, and in some
ways by imitating the SS women at Auschwitz, and I wanted to write about her. Lola wasn’t in Poland
anymore, but as I spoke to Jews, Poles and Germans about her and as I studied documents in a
cobwebbed cellar in Poland and a concrete castle over the Rhine, I slowly became aware that the truth
was much, much larger than Lola. I learned that hundreds of Jews and probably thousands of Jews
