<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>[A] peerless work of documentation and research that sheds new light on this century's darkest address.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>, starred review<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>No symbol of the Holocaust is more profound than Auschwitz. Yet the sheer, crushing number of murders--over 1,200,000--the overwhelming scale of the crime, and the vast, abandoned site of ruined chimneys and rusting barbed wire isolate Auschwitz from us. How could an ordinary town become a site of such terror? Why was this particular town chosen? Who conceived, created, and constructed the camp? This unprecedented history reveals how an unremarkable Polish village was transformed into a killing field. Using architectural designs and planning documents recently discovered in Poland and Russia and over 200 illustrations, <em>Auschwitz</em> tells how this town became the epicenter of the Final Solution. A National Jewish Book Award winner.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The authors use photographs, blueprints, and testimonials from survivors as they consider the question of whether Auschwitz could have happened just anywhere.-- "Newsweek"<br><br>This is truly the definitive history of the town and camp.-- "Booklist"<br><br>A milestone in Holocaust literature.--Nechama Tee, author of Defiance: The Bielski Partisans<br>
