Auschwitz: Camp of Death, originally published in 1944 as Oswiecim: Camp of Death, is one of the first accounts of the Auschwitz (Oswiecim in Polish) concentration camp available to war-time American readers. The book describes the prisoner selection and round-up process in Poland's cities and villages, transportation to Auschwitz, the daily degradations and struggle to survive, and finally, death in the gas chamber. As the author states: “In Auschwitz, wounds never heal.” Included are 2 illustrations and an appendix of known concentration camps in Poland (including names of special camps for clergy members, Jews, women, and children).
