Brief overview of the history, inevitable that more information is required.

A concise and thus the contents all the more appalling for its brevity: a factual account of the whole process by which cultivated, civilized Germany of the 1920s-40s descended into a depraved, genocidal nightmare perpetrated on Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies etc. All made possible by the most mundane (yet egregiously vile) series of steps that created, organized and ran the purpose-built centre of Nazi slaughterhouse mentality that was AUSCHWITZ. A Concentration Camp for death by Gas Chamber, Forced Labour, summary Execution etc. for the inmates made up of Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies & POWs.
The book concludes with a very brief chapter highlighting the ghastly attempts of recent decades to retell in a better light and/or deny that Auschwitz was an extermination camp.
The author deserves high praise for factually exposing such attempts as the falsifying fiction created by anti-Semites and racists.

Perché il più grande campo di sterminio del Reich fu costruito proprio in quella cittadina a circa 60 chilometri a ovest della città di Cracovia? Perché venne a dirigerlo Rudolf Höss? Il libro di Sybille Steinbacher - integralmente dedicato al campo di concentramento dove morirono oltre un milione di persone - risponde a queste e ad altre domande, sessant'anni dopo la liberazione di Auschwitz. L'autrice racconta l'evoluzione del campo, da complesso di baracche per lavoratori stagionali di inizio XX secolo a impianto con forni crematori e docce letali allo Zyklon B. Viene offerto al lettore un resoconto di tutti gli elementi legati a questo luogo di morte: dalla macabra organizzazione dello sterminio fino alle vicende processuali dei responsabili.

een zakelijke beschrijving van het kamp en de omgeving. Een rode draad of een eigen visie in het verhaal ontbreekt. Dat heeft voordelen bij een zo beladen onderwerp. Een uitgesproken visie kan dan hinderlijk in de weg zitten. Er zijn genoeg andere boeken die een interpretatie van Auschwitz geven. Helaas is het soms wat opsommerig en is het Duits niet altijd even soepel vertaald.
