Holocaust Memoir Reading- Inside The Gas Chamber: 8 Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz

Hey all. The latest memoir that I have been reading is, "Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz" by Shlomo Venezia. 

The Sonderkommando was a specific group of individuals who were assigned to remove, burn and clean-up after the innocent victims that the Nazis gassed. Mr. Venezia was on the Sonderkommando. He assisted the Jewish victims before their death, removed hair or any other "useful" parts of the victim's body,  burned/ ground up the bones of the victims and cleaned up any other evidence which would have been suspicious to the next group of innocent victims.
