Publisher's Summary:
Auschwitz is a monument to the barbaric inhumanity of the Nazi regime. It is the site where more than one million people were systematically tortured and killed in support of Adolf Hitlers determination to eradicate entire populations that he viewed as racially impure. Dr. Josef Mengele conducted horrific experiments on live victims, treating his subjects as if they werent human. The Jews, homosexuals, Communists, Jehovahs Witnesses, and the mentally and physically disabled were less than human to the Nazis. The Final Solution, a cornerstone of Nazi ideology, enacted a devastating sentence upon people whose only crime was their ethnic origin or their religious and political beliefs.
But the voices of Auschwitz continue to be heard. Anne Franks diary speaks for all the innocent who were sent there. Elie Wiesel spent his life speaking out against the horrors he and others endured at Auschwitz. The recorded histories of the survivors of the camps keep the memories alive for generations whose only knowledge of the Holocaust would otherwise be through a school assignment to read The Diary of Anne Frank or by watching a movie like Schindlers List.
Auschwitz holds a bizarre fascination for those who hear about it. How could such evil thrive? How could an entire nation surrender to the rantings of a diabolical man who sought revenge against the followers of a religion? The names reverberate in a gallery of maniacs who purported to be leaders: Hitler, Goebbels, Mengele, Goering, Himmler, and the countless others who supported them.

A fairly comprehensive and brief discussion about the Holocaust and concentration camps
This is not the first book that I have read about the Holocaust or concentration camps nevertheless this e-book World War II Auschwitz: A History From Beginning to End is fairly comprehensive and hits all the high points. This book is especially useful for someone with minimal knowledge of the Holocaust and the killing factories that were established by the SS. The book starts off by discussing the prejudice and various genocidal attacks the Jews have suffered through history. The book also discusses the excesses of various medical doctors and scientists of the Third Reich. If one cannot read more comprehensive books about the Holocaust or the concentration camps, then they should at least read this book to understand why Israel should exist.
Truths about Auswitz that's not fully known.
The book was well written, but I hit some snags when reading it, and had to go back & read a couple of pages a second time before I understood it. The book opened my eyes to the difference between a Concentration Camp & a Death Camp. It also shed some light on the liberating of Auschwitz when the Russians & Americans were getting nearer, and how the prisoners had to make a choice to leave & head towards Germany with the guards, or stay there & wait. Interesting too that when the Russians arrived they basically turned their backs on the remaining prisoners & fled when they saw the mass graves.
