KL – A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps

A complete history of the Nazi concentration camp system combining the political and personal, examining the organisation of the genocidal machine, whilst drawing a vivid picture of life for the individual prisoner.

Dr Nikolaus Wachsmann is the first historian to write a complete history of the camps. Combining the political and the personal, Wachsmann examines the organisation of such an immense genocidal machine, whilst drawing a vivid picture of life inside the camps for the individual prisoner.

“Monumentally impressive…seems certain to become the definitive history of the Nazi concentration camps…his scholarship brings new life to a familiar subject.” The Sunday Times
