In the clutches of the Nazis - a numbered copy - dedicated and signed by the author
Dans les griffe nazies - In the clutches of the Nazis - by Suzanne Busson, numbered 42 of 75 published copies, dedicated and signed by the author on the title page: "Pour les combatants de la liberté Suzanne Busson" - for freedom fighters, Susan Busson ". France, 1946 - Hard photos from the camps.
Boson's early and thrilling testimony about her stay in the Ravensbirk and Mauthausen camps. Boson began writing her testimony in the camp itself while she was sure she would not survive and hoped her testimony would reach her son, after she was no longer alive. Boson tells how in December 1944 she was in a state of dying, very close to death, and even as she thought these were her last moments, she managed to gather the rest of her strength and put things in writing. Its appalling role was to keep the bodies that were loaded on trucks by the Nazis and to the place them in the cremation, lest they fall off the truck. Boson tells how, after a while, she had stopped feeling the shock and horrors of it. The first part of the things she wrote on pages in the camp, remained in Mauthausen, it was taken along with her clothes and burned by the Nazis. After surviving and returning to France, she recalled the same part. After she was rescued, she learned that on May 1, 1945, she was to be murdered by the Nazis, according to a record which were found in the camp after the war, and only miraculously survived a few days before the gas chamber stopped operating.
The book is accompanied by harsh photographs of those who perished in the camps, as well as of survivors in serious physical condition, including a horrific photograph of Nazi soldiers abusing a body, survivors in serious physical condition, the bodies of those who perished, and more.
On the page after the title page is a portrait of Boson's husband who was murdered by the Nazis.
