Témoignages sur Auschwitz Published by L'AMICALE DES DEPORTES D 'AUSCHWITZ, early testimonies of survivors from the Auschwitz extermination camp. Introduction by Jean Cassou, Drawings of the Horrors of the Camp by François Reisz. Photos. Paris 1946. First edition.
The life expectancy of an inmate in Auschwitz was only about three months. Therefore, it was rare to find evidence of prisoners who survived the camp. Before us Evidence obtained from the prisoners a few months after the liberation of the camp by the Red Army, which released the 7,500 prisoners who remained in it out of the approximately one million Jews who perished there. These are in fact the first evidence of the daily occurrence in the camp: the selection, the manner of killing in the gas chambers, the forced labor, the torture, the severe famine, and the other atrocities committed by the Nazis in Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the longest-running extermination camp (June 1940 to January 1945) of all the extermination camps, culminating in the industrialization of mass murder. At its peak, Auschwitz included 45 camps covering 40 square kilometers.
