The article “The British PoW who broke into Auschwitz – and survived” by Jake Wallis Simons‚ in my opinion‚ was underwhelming and did not quite do justice to the actions taken by Denis Avery.

Only a couple short paragraphs

Jane Eyre‚ as the eponymous character‚ has become closer and better known to us than to any familial member or friend. Because of this we understand the way she writes‚ and subsequently how she views her own new environment. Her vivid descriptions and powerful imagery remind us of where her imagination (more spirited than that of any other child) originated in the time spent engaged in Bewick’s ‘History of British Birds’‚ her only form of escapism from the dreary conditions at Gateshead Hall. So
