Auschwitz: 1270 to the Present / 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. More than 1,200,000 dead. This crushing number, the overwhelming scale of the crime, and the vast abandoned site of the ruined chimneys and rusting barbed wire isolate Auschwitz from the rest of the world. This book offers an unprecedented examination of the ties between the ancient market town of Auschwitz and the concentration camp erected in its suburbs. Fully illustrated with over 200 photos, architechtural plans, and historical documents.
