Mijn verhaal vanuit het kamp (1943–1945)', which was published in the United States in 2020 under the title Last Stop Auschwitz.
[1] De Wind was the first, and perhaps the only doctor who, after passing his medical exam, voluntarily went to the Westerbork transit camp for Jews to assist the deportees there.
Nevertheless, Eddy stayed at Westerbork, where he met his first wife, a nurse at the camp, Friedel Komornik[2] and even married.
Because of his status as a doctor he had some freedom of movement within the camp and because of his language (German, Dutch, French) skills he was able to communicate with many, thus acquiring information necessary for survival, such as conveniently being elsewhere during selections for the gas chamber.
He survived the camp, due to a combination of his language skills, medical training, luck and fortuitous decisions, such as hiding and refusing to join one of the death marches.
Mijn verhaal vanuit het kamp (1943–1945)’ or ‘Auschwitz Terminal Station’, a detailed account of his imprisonment, written in the camp itself, after liberation by the Russian army.
