This is an authoritative account of the operation of the Auschwitz death camp. "...a comprehensive work that is unlikely to be overtaken for many years.

"Rigorously documented, brilliantly written, organized, and edited ...the most authoritative book about a place of unsurpassed importance in human history." - John K. Roth. "Never before has knowledge concerning every aspect of Auschwitz ...been made available in such authority, depth, and comprehensiveness." - Richard L. Rubenstein. Leading scholars from the United States, Israel, Poland, and other European countries provide the first comprehensive account of what took place at the Auschwitz death camp. Principal sections of the book address the institutional history of the camp, the technology and dimensions of the genocide carried out there, the profiles of the perpetrators and the lives of the inmates, underground resistance and escapes, and what the outside world knew about Auschwitz and when.It is published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C.
