Campo di Concentramento Dachau - "The history of the Dachau camp from 1933 to 1945 constitutes an endless list of human tragedies, each of which deserves a detailed description, since each is an accusation directed against the Nazi regime... All the statistical data contained in this volume on the number of deaths, various deportations, etc., have been obtained from official and reliable sources, and have been repeatedly examined as much as possible...". An unknown detailed report on the Nazi atrocities at Dachau death camp by Nico Rust, Brussels 1965 - second edition and rare in itself with additions that did not appear in the first edition. Italian. On the title page is an ink stamp of Krematorium Dachau 1426.

A report that was published following various documents discovered over the years after the war, which reveal the enormity of the atrocities committed by the Nazis in the Dachau camp. Following these documents, the editor describes daily life in the camp, hunger, forced labor (among other things, it describes how, under whiplash, the prisoners were forced to create toys given by SS commanders to their children as Christmas presents), the types of punishments in the camp, the experiments carried out in Block 5, the crematorium cremation process , deception of the families of the victims, and more.

The booklet also lists the number of prisoners who arrived at Dachau from other camps, as well as the mass executions carried out in the camp between 1933 and 1945 according to dates.
At the end are several examples from letters written by the Nazis themselves during the war, which indicate the enormity of the atrocity. For example, there is a horrifying quote from a letter written by Dr. Hippke, in which he tells about the medical experiments in cold cells carried out on the bodies of prisoners in Dachau, in which he expresses that he is sure that the results will benefit the German Air Force, and another letter reporting that gold teeth were removed from the bodies of prisoners weighing a total of 50 kg and sent to a clinic in Germany stating that the quantity will be sufficient for use by German patients for the next 5 years, etc.

The first edition was published in 1950, before us is the second edition with additions that did not appear in the first edition, including documents and research done during the 15 years since the first edition was published.
