THE SUNDAY TIMES E IL BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE 'Superb' ANDREW ROBERTS In questo libro classico, l'autore e conduttore radiofonico acclamato Laurence Rees racconta la storia definitiva della più famigerata istituzione nazista di tutte. Scopriamo come Auschwitz si è evoluta da un campo di concentramento per prigionieri politici polacchi al sito del più grande omicidio di massa della storia, in parte campo di sterminio, in parte campo di concentramento, dove furono uccisi circa un milione di ebrei. Auschwitz esamina la mentalità e le motivazioni dei principali decisori nazisti e gli autori di crimini spaventosi parlano qui per la prima volta delle loro azioni. Basandosi sul documentario fondamentale di Rees e sul materiale degli archivi russi, che ha sfidato molte argomentazioni precedentemente accettate, questo libro rivela fatti significativi e inquietanti, dal funzionamento di un bordello alla corruzione che dilagava in tutto il campo. Questa è la storia di omicidio, brutalità, coraggio, fuga e sopravvivenza e un potente resoconto di come una tragedia umana di così immensa portata abbia potuto verificarsi.

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.
