"A thoughtful overview of a place terrible to remember--and one
that must always be remembered." --Kirkus Reviews
"A multitude of books have been written on the camp, yet this brief
volume has much to offer both laypersons and scholars interested in
its history. . . . A cogent, penetrating work." --Booklist
"In concise and sober fashion, German historian Steinbacher traces
the history of Auschwitz from a medieval trading town to the major
extermination camp of the Holocaust. . . . Steinbacher, a visiting
fellow for European studies at Harvard, avoids extensive analysis
or morality tales; the meaning of Auschwitz is in the details,
which she provides with clinical precision." --Publishers Weekly
