Summary
Laurence Rees: Auschwitz
The Nazis and the "Final Solution"
Writer and editor of the BBC television series Auschwitz, Laurence Rees, presents in this book the dramatic history of the most infamous institution of the Nazi regime. The author reveals how Auschwitz gradually turned from a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners into the place of the most mass murder in history - an execution ground where about a million Jews were killed. The book simultaneously explores the mentality and motives of the Nazi leadership that made political decisions, and the perpetrators of the horrific crimes speak about their misdeeds for the first time.
