The Camps
Publisher: Borgerhoff & Lamberigts
The history of concentration camps in Europe during WWII
The Camps is a reference work on all the major Nazi concentration camps of World War II in Europe. The 25 most important concentration camps are extensively covered through research in mainly the archives of the camps, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) and Yad Vashem – The World Holocaust Remembrance Center. In word and image – with ample attention to the history of each camp, its operation, and the key figures – the book covers the six major extermination camps (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Kulmhof, Majdanek, Sobibor & Treblinka), as well as the major concentration and labor camps such as Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and Mauthausen. The Camps is also full of testimonies and thematic subjects related to the millions of Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and other persons who perished in the camps. It contains over 600 photos and illustrations, most of which have never been published in book form and many of which have only popped up over the past 10 years.
