Synopsis

Chelmno, a small pastoral village in Poland, was transformed by the Nazis into the first extermination camp where mass killings took place in facilities using gas - a method that was replicated in other extermination camps as part of the Nazi program for the Final Solution. The first comprehensive study about the Chelmno death camp, this book fills a lacuna in recounting the history of the Holocaust. Based on German and Jewish documents and trial records, the author describes the Jewish communities that predated the Holocaust in this region, the deportations to the camp, the extermination methods practiced there, and the Nazis' efforts to obscure the traces of the mass murder that they had committed in this location.
