Reviews

With stunning clarity, the editors bring to light the lessor known experiences of those associated with the Operation Reinhard death camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. In publishing Niemann's photo collection, the editors are informing a broad audience of Germany's systematic murder of medically institutionalized patients within Germany and the attempted extermination of European Jews at the Operation Reinhard death camps. - Darren Johnson (H-Net)
