This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Such a horrific book, and not for it’s content, but for its content…

What will a human do when his humanity is stripped away and survival is the only game in town? Sadly, he will do just about anything and does so with little thought of anyone but himself.

Tadek, the book’s narrator is obviously the author Tadeusz Borowski, himself a concentration camp prisoner from Poland. The never-ending onslaught of horrors he encounters eventually desensitizes him and he becomes less and less human.

Staszek is well connected at the camp and is able to get food and supplies and uses his connections to elevate his status among his fellow prisoners.

Quotes:

It is the camp law: people going to their death must be deceived to the very end. This is the only permissible form of charity.

Between two throw-ins in a soccer game, right behind my back, three thousand people had been put to death.

We said that there is no crime that a man will not commit in order to save himself. And, having saved himself, he will commit crimes for increasingly trivial reasons; he will commit them first out of duty, then from habit, and finally–for pleasure.

Meeting Mr. Borowski would require a wide open space with few people about.

My rating for This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen is an 8 out of 10.
