Synopsis

This is the story of No. 22483, who had been shipped from Belgium to Buchenwald.

It records what he saw and felt during his calvary from Antwerp to the Malin distribution camp in France and from there to the extermination camp of Buchenwald. He was one of the few people who both entered a Nazi concentration camp and left again. This is his remarkable personal story that records his experiences of one of the most harrowing events in human history.

Buchenwald concentration camp was one of the first and largest camps to be built on German soil and during the years that Weinstock spent there he kept company with other Jews, Poles, Slavs, political prisoners, and many other men and women that the Nazis deemed subhuman.

Eugene Weinstock was a Hungarian Jew who was living in Belgium at the beginning of the Second World War. Beyond the Last Path records his life during those terrible years up to the point when American troops released the remaining prisoners in Buchenwald.

Goodreads review by Diane

This is by far the best survivor's story that I have read to date. It is literate and conveys the horror of Buchenwald without being too graphic.

This needs editing badly This was a great story, but plagued by terrible editing. Please, if you read this book...be prepared for that. It was very frustrating, especially after paying full price.......more

Goodreads review by Kimberlie

This is the story of Eugene Weinstock, a Jewish member of the resistance that began in the early stages of the Holocaust. His story is both horrific and beautiful, as it includes both the savagery and nobility that exists in humans. Mr. Weinstock tells us about the underground resistance in Buchenwal......more
