Audio Book Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

In this compelling book, highly acclaimed author and broadcaster Laurence Rees tells the definitive history of the most notorious Nazi institution of them all. We discover how Auschwitz evolved from a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners into the site of the largest mass murder in history - part death camp, part concentration camp, where around a million Jews were killed.

Auschwitz examines the mentality and motivations of the key Nazi decision makers, and perpetrators of appalling crimes speak here for the first time about their actions. Fascinating and disturbing facts have been uncovered - from the operation of a brothel to the corruption that was rife throughout the camp. The book draws on intriguing new documentary material from recently opened Russian archives, which will challenge many previously accepted arguments.

This is the story of murder, brutality, courage, escape and survival, and a powerful account of how human tragedy of such immense scale could have happened.

    A compelling read, sometimes very difficult. It should certainly be a set text in all schools. Lest we forget.

    A gruelling read indeed. How can there be such a heartless. unthinking, uncaring being as an Holocaust Denier? It is inconceivable that, given the overwhelming evidence from so many sources, that anyone should choose to adopt such an extreme wire of the events in this (and many other) accounts. The author has presented a clear and well documented book. The narrator is a consummate ok performer with no hint of personal emotional reaction to the content, which adds even more authority to the whole content. Will we never learn from history, or will the adage 'history repeats itself' remain a constant threat for the human race?
