Items related to Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present
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 Fully illustrated with over 200 photos, architechtural plans, and historical documents.

Bound in the original black boards with a maroon cloth spine stamped in shiny silver. From the dust jacket: "AUSCHWITZ, 1270 TO THE PRESENT elucidates how the prewar ordinary town of Auschwitz became Germany's most lethal killing site step by step and in stages: a transformation wrought by human beings, mostly German and mostly male. Who were the men who conceived, created, and constructed the killing facility? Using the hundreds of architectural plans for the camp that the Germans, in their haste, forgot to destroy, as well as the blueprints and papers in the municipal, provincial, and federal archives, [the authors] show that the town of Auschwitz and the camp of that name were the centerpiece of Himmler's ambitious project to recover the German legacy of the Teutonic Knights and Frederick the Great in Nazi-ruled Poland. Analyzing the close ties between the 700-year history of the town and the five-year evolution of the concentration camp in its suburbs, Dwork and van Pelt 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." 7.5" wide by 9.5" tall.
