Auschwitz

Sybille Steinbacher

Auschwitz is the epitome of the mass crimes of the Third Reich. More than one million people were murdered in the largest concentration and extermination camp of the National Socialist state. Sybille Steinbacher offers a condensed overview of the history of Auschwitz. She explains why precisely this site became the site of a concentration camp, presents concisely and precisely all aspects of the events at the central scene of the mass murder, and concludes by describing the legal processing and the debate about the "Auschwitz lie".
