John Altman, your novel A Gathering of Spies sounds interesting. I am putting it on my "to read" list. However, I would like to alert you an error in the book's description. It uses term "Polish concentration camp". The country of Poland was occupied by the Germans and Soviets for the entirety of World War II. There were no concentration camps run by the Poles. Could you please correct this?

John Altman Curtis, thank you for writing. I agree it is important to be accurate in the phrasing of this. When I look at the book description on this site, it refers not to Polish concentration camps but to "a German concentration camp in occupied Poland". Are you seeing something else, somewhere else - and if so, could you please bring it to my attention? Best, John
