Auschwitz – the site of one of the worst atrocities of mankind. About the number of victims in the «tabor of death» historians still quarrel – at the Nuremberz process they voiced a staggering figure of 4 million. Due to the destruction of part of the documents, its history has not been fully investigated, although more than 75 years have passed since the time of the expulsion of the prisoners from the Nazis.

For the book Lawrence Rice took about 100 unique interv’yu from eyewitnesses of events. Thanks to the conversations with vtsillilimiymi former in’yaznyami, observers-evildoers and study of archival materials, the author gives a vchernu picture of what was going on in «tabor death». Ris shows that Auschwitz was never intended to exterminate Jews, and the &lquo;residual solution to the Jewish problem» was never considered its sole purpose – although later these two points became the very purpose of its existence.

The book «Auschwitz» not only allows us to see the horrible miniature of the ideal society from the viewpoint of Nazism, but also gives us a chance to understand human nature in extreme conditions. And thanks to this information we can understand a lot of things about ourselves.
