The Man Who Played God is a historical novel by Robert St. John, set in Hungary and Israel between 1944 and 1956. The story follows the life of Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew who is forced to work as a medical assistant to Josef Mengele in Auschwitz during World War II. After the war, Nyiszli moves to Israel and becomes a respected physician. The novel explores Nyiszli's struggle to come to terms with his experiences in the concentration camp and his efforts to rebuild his life in Israel. It also delves into the political turmoil of post-war Hungary, including the Soviet occupation and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The Man Who Played God is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of trauma, survival, and the impact of historical events on individual lives. It offers a unique perspective on the Holocaust and its aftermath, as well as the complex political landscape of mid-20th century Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
