From the dust jacket: "[L]eading scholars from the United States, Israel, Poland, and other European countries provide the first comprehensive account of what took place at Auschwitz. Principal sections of the book addresse 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." Kirkus Reviews: "An immensely wide and deep collection... on the infrastructure, operation, population, and history of the Auschwitz death-camp complex... without peer in Holocaust literature." Richard Rubenstein: "Without the slightest exaggeration... one of the most important and informative books ever written about the Holocaust. Never before has knowledge concerning every aspect of Auschwitz... been made available in such authority, depth, and comprehensiveness." AB Bookman: "Brings to light new material only recently accessible in Eastern Europe... for the first time, scholars in the West have access to major archival holdings in the former communist countries.".
