Ami ebben a pokoljarasban vonzo - kulonos, hat a borzalomnak is lehet baja? -, az maga a szerzo szemelye, a vezna, szoke fiue, aki ot esztendot toltott a halal arnyekaban. Tizenkilenc eves volt, amikor a 290-es szamot kapta Auschwitzban, s az erkezeskor meg azt kerdezte magatol: ,,Auschwitz? Az ordog hallott rola. Es milyen lehet egy koncentracios tabor? Hamarosan megtudom."

Ami azt illeti, alaposan megismerhette ot esztendo alatt. Megtanulta a tuleles muveszetenek minden ,,naprakesz" csinjat-binjat, a fogarany, a cigaretta, a krumpli csereerteket, illetve az emberelet ertekenek teljes semmibevetelet.

Es megismerte Kielar a halal minden fajtajat, mielott megismerhette volna a szerelmet, az eletet. Alvilagi utikalauz ez a fekete memoar; felsorol minden pokolbeli latnivalot, es mint minden jo utikalauz, vegul a halal glosszariumat is kozli, azt a nemet tarsalgasi nyelvet, amelyet rabok es rabtartok egyarant beszeltek.

Az olvasot magaval ragadja a szerzo egyeni baja es egyeni latasmodja. S amit olyan sokszor elmondtunk mar: a halaltaborok kora utan szuletett nemzedekek megismerhetik ebbol a konyvbol azt a vilagot, amely ugyan mar tavoli, de amelyrol a halado emberiseg nem feledkezhetik meg soha.
