A World War II pictorial history detailing Nazi Germany’s Auschwitz
concentration camp, its monstrous creators, and what went on inside.
The concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau was the site of the
single largest mass murder in history. Over one million mainly Jewish
men, women, and children were murdered in its gas chambers. Countless
more died as a result of disease and starvation. Auschwitz Death Camp
is a chilling pictorial record of this infamous establishment. Using
some 250 photographs together with detailed captions and accompanying
text, it describes how Auschwitz evolved from a brutal labor camp at
the beginning of the war into what was literally a factory of death.
The images show how people lived, worked, and died at Auschwitz. The
book covers the men who conceived and constructed this killing
machine, and how the camp provided a vast labor pool for various
industrial complexes erected in the vicinity. Auschwitz Death Camp is
shocking proof of the magnitude of horror inflicted by the Nazis on
innocent men, women, and children. Such evil should not be forgotten
lest it reappear.
