		Tadeusz Borowski was born in Zytomierz, a Polish city in the then-Soviet Ukraine, on November 12, 1922.
		The tragic part of this story comes from knowing that the events in the story are gleaned from Borowski's own experiences in the Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps, where he spent two years of his life from 1943 to 1945.
		While a prisoner at Auschwitz, Borowski caught pneumonia; afterwards, he was put to work as an orderly in a "hospital" where experiments were conducted upon the prisoners.

	This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen (Penguin Classics): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Borowski's character by itseelf is complex (specally his clueless suicide etc.) and the books are even denser so it is sometimes difficult to understand who is the main target especially when you read the post war writings.
		For Tadeusz Borowski the twist in the end, which may be easily guessed, is not at all important rather the way he arrives to this end is far more effective and magnetic.
		Borowski's stories answer the question "what was daily life in the concentration camps like?" Similar in feel to "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", Borowski details the petty humiliations, the indignity and perhaps most chillingly of all, the attitudes and actions that everyday people preformed in order to survive Auschwitz.

		Taduez Borowski's short stories of life in Auschwitz Birkenau are startling in their casualness, until one realises this is a front hiding the deep pain and anguish underneath.
		The stories are often cinematic in their scope and depiction and Borowski uses irony, pastoral descriptions and powerful characterisations suchs as Abbie and Moise (who finds family pictures after he sends his father to the gas chamber) to evoke the realities of Auschwitz.
		The narrative Borowski creates never allows the reader to sit in judgement on his characters and he reveals the inversion of morality and ethics necessary to survive.

	This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen Summary
		Borowski's story "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen" first appeared in Poland the spring of 1946, little more than a year after the Nazis began evacuating Auschwitz's more than 50,000 prisoners (including Borowski).
		Their publication was an early attempt to diminish the already developing legend of the concentration camp: that in this place of horror, heroism supplanted cowardice, and prisoners worked together for the good of their fellow sufferers.
		Two years later, Borowski's first collection, also titled This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, was published in Poland, making Borowski one of the first writers to depict the.....

		The narrator joins in the task of unloading thousands of Jews from the cattle cars and sending them to their death in the gas chamber, all to acquire food and maybe a pair of shoes.
		Subject matter aside, Borowski's story is chilling and unforgettable in the success with which the narrator distances himself from his actions.
		As readers grow to understand that the narrator is forced to this extreme in order to continue to perform the work that guarantees his own existence, they become implicated themselves—they become part of the community of the concentration camp.
