Synopsis:

This “scrupulous and honest” (Washington Post) history of the most notorious concentration camp of the Holocaust preserves the authentic voices of survivors and perpetrators

In Auschwitz, Laurence Rees provides a shocking portrait of the world’s most infamous death camp. Informed by more than one hundred original interviews with survivors and Nazi perpetrators who speak on the record for the first time, Rees’s narrative exposes the inner workings of the camp in unprecedented detail―from the techniques of mass murder to the bizarre microcosms that emerged within the camp, such as the brothel and the dining hall, where the line between guard and prisoner became surprisingly blurred.  

Auschwitz is a vital addition to our understanding of the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the human potential for committing unthinkable evil.
