This book on the Auschwitz Concentration Camp provides a chronological account from the camp's
beginning in 1940 right up to its liberation in January 1945 and beyond. Chris Webb manages to
find a balance between detailing the sufferings of the victims and the actions characters and
fates of the perpetrators. He gives in a concise form a thorough and deeply disturbing
overview of all aspects of Auschwitz and its many satellite camps. In addition the book
contains a vast collection of photographs and documents some of them never shown in public
before. It ends with the 2017 recollections by students who visited Auschwitz from Teesside
University.
