Your first Auschwitz book

This is a good introduction to the subject of concentration camps but it is only a brief primer. If your children are older than ten, they should have a book with more detail and photos. There are no photos.

This book tells about the horrors of the Nazis. The author tells the story of those that ended up in Auschwitz. This is a disturbing book. I had to put it down several times while reading.

[Judie · Rating 2 out of 5]

AUSCHWITZ The Shocking Story & Secrets of the Holocaust Death Camp is a concise history explaining why the memory of Auschwitz matters. With forty five sub-camps, Auschwitz was the largest of the camps and had areas where the victims lived, worked, and died. It tells the numbers of people who died in some of the more famous camps and includes numbers for both Jews and other groups: 1.5 million Jews died at Auschwitz, half by overwork, starvation, and work conditions. Ten thousand prisoners of other groups were also imprisoned there, many of whom also died.
It begins with the actions taken by the Nazis leading to the construction of the death camps and discusses what life was like in the camp including working and living conditions, food, medical experiments, methods of killing and torture.
According to Larry Berg, “In 2007 UNESCO renamed the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum a ‘German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp’ in order to stress that the camp was run by the Germans and not the Poles.” I find this misleading because it would not have been able to operate without the cooperation of the Polish citizens who worked there, saw (or smelled or heard) what was going, and assisted in the capture and deaths of 3,000,000 Polish Jews.
The book does provide an augmented outline of Auschwitz and is written in a easy-to-comprehend manner, understandable to secondary school children. There is not much information there that is not available through many other sources.
This book was a free Amazon download.

The content of this small e-book was fine, it was actually well done right up until the end. However, the end made me give it one star. The author in the last few pages decides to give you access to his site which gives you self-help and weight loss tips.

…did he seriously just write this book to get us to buy into his self-promotion shtick?

Seriously?

This is an easy to follow, quick introduction, to the horrors of Auschwitz. There are several facts and figures included here. This would be helpful for a school report, but does not go into deep details. Those details would need to be found in another read.

Auschwitz

The story and secrets of one of the most heinous times in the history of mankind. Seventy-five years later the ghosts of that time continues to haunt those names and faces of that time and places. Almost gone are the first hand accounts of the Holocaust.

Very short. Good introduction to the material.

[Jared Hislop · Rating 1 out of 5]

no new information

This book is basically an extended article or blog post. Well written, but lacks overall direction and has no in depth look at this subject matter
