Smoke over Birkenau (Polish: Dymy nad Birkenau) is a autobiographical book by Polish writer Seweryna Szmaglewska, based on her experiences as an inmate of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during World War II.
One of the most important testimonies of the fate of prisoners and victims of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, and at the same time one of the first literary accounts of hell on earth.
"Blood has fallen on the walls, floors, bricks here and tells about the people who died here. They stayed where their blood was shed. It's nothing that the walls were whitewashed later with lime. These walls are still red."
Seweryna Szmaglewska, after being arrested by the Gestapo, spent two and a half years in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, where she experienced exhausting physical work and several serious illnesses. When in January 1945 the prisoners of the camp were chased in a death march, she managed to escape. From the first days of freedom, she began to describe the unimaginable. This is how the first document about the Nazi extermination machine was produced within a few months. The book was published before the end of 1945.
Seweryna Szmaglewska (Seweryna Maria Szmaglewska-Wiśniewska) (February 11, 1916 – July 7, 1992) was a Polish writer, known for both books for children and adults alike. Her novels "Czarne Stopy" (Black Feet) and "Dymy nad Birkenau" (Smoke over Birkenau) are compulsory reading in Polish schools.[1]
She was born on February 11, 1916 in Przygłów near Piotrków Trybunalski, then in Central Powers-occupied part of the Kingdom of Poland. She graduated from the Free Polish University and went on to study at the Polish language and literature faculties of the Jagiellonian University of Cracow and the Łódź University. Between 1942 and 1945 she was an inmate of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp after spending two months in the prisons of Piotrków and Częstochowa. In 1945 she successfully escaped the Nazis during a "death march".[2][1] As a Nazi camp survivor, she was one of very few Poles to testify at the Nuremberg Trials.[1]
After the war she went on to be a successful writer. Initially focusing on her war-time experiences ("Dymy nad Birkenau", "Łączy nas gniew", "Niewinni w Norymberdze"), with time she also started publishing novels for teenagers. Her best-known novel "Czarne Stopy [pl]" (Black Feet; published in 1960) was later turned into a 1986 film (premiered in 1987) by Waldemar Podgórski. In 1973 the continuation of the novel, Nowy ślad Czarnych Stóp (A New Trail of Black Feet), was published.
In 1946 she married Witold Wiśniewski, whom he met earlier in Oświęcim. They had two sons: Witold and Jack. Seweryna Szmaglewska died on July 7, 1992 in Warsaw and interred in Bródno Cemetery.
