Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present Yale University Press, 1996 - 443 pages Analyzing the close ties between the 700-year history of the town and the five-year evolution of the concentration camp in its suburbs, van Pelt and Dwork offer an absolutely new and compelling interpretation of the origins and development of the death camp at Auschwitz. And drawing on oral histories of survivors, memoirs, depositions, and diaries, the authors explore the ever more murderous impact of these changes on the inmates daily lives. |
