To Meet in Hell

The title of this book alludes to the fact that it consists of two separate stories: Brigadier HL Glyn Hughes who was with the British Second Army that took control of the BergenBelsen concentration camp, and Rachel Genuth, who was deported from Hungary with her family in 1944, went through Auschwitz and ended up in the camp. The irony of the title is that they never actually met. With Hughes’ diaries and testimony and Rachel’s daughter providing additional insights, it’s a fantastic, but horrific, story of the German programme of racial genocide.
