NATZWILLER-STRUTHOF - Detailed report on Nazi crimes in the death camps published on the occasion of the inauguration of the memorial to those who perished in the Natzweiler-Struthof camp (built by the sculptor Lucien Penno, according to the plan of the architect of the memorial sites Bertrand Monet) - an extensive review of how the Nazi extermination machine operated in the camps, accompanied by many photographs that are difficult to view. Published by the National Committee for the Establishment and Preservation of the Deportation Monument in Struthhof. France, 1964. Dedicated copy by editor Dr. Brin "Marking the 25th anniversary of our liberation", and ink stamp of the Struthhof International Committee. French.

The report reviews the operation of concentration camps of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Majdanek, Mauthausen, Ravensbruk, and Neuengamme, with a significant portion of the book devoted to the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in France. The editor explains the method employed by the Nazis in almost all camps - employing the prisoners themselves as executors of the death plan, and then executing the prisoners themselves in order to obscure evidence. It details the experiments carried out on prisoners in the various camps, the way the crematorium operated in the camps, and the different ways in which prisoners managed to survive despite everything. "The concentration camps were in fact a waiting room for certain death, systematic and industrialized extermination, in which the industry of death became a masterpiece of the Nazi SS - every hour, every day, every job, everything planned to commit the crime, exhausting work, cold nights, hunger, terror, beatings, overcrowding, panic, beatings and more beatings, violence, mercilessness, sadism...", he writes. In the book, photographs that are difficult to view, and aerial maps of the camp structure.

91 [2] p. 24 cm. On the cover is a color photograph of the memorial, as well as of the camp gate on the back. Very Good Condition. Attached to the book a postcard showing the memorial at Struthhof, stamped with the ink stamp of the Struthhof International Committee.
