Images of War – Auschwitz Death Camp – Rare Photographs From Wartime

February 15th, 2010

B1573

This is an evocative photographic essay of one of the most terrible examples of inhumanity. The text is perhaps most accurately a collection of extended captions. The Polish town of Oswiecim and its surrounding area once supported a strong Jewish population, almost a third of the total town population. This is a book that should be read and understood because a holocaust could happen anywhere, seeming a logical developing policy to people who would otherwise be regarded as normal civilized individuals.
