Auschwitz Concentration Camp

For further research on Auschwitz and Belsen concentration camps, I recommend the following books:

Auschwitz 1940-1945 translation of the book from the Auschwitz museum.

Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp Incredibly comprehensive book, probably the most comprehensive written about Auschwitz Concentraion Camp. If you are an Auschwitz scholar, you will find this reference indispensable.

Survival in Auschwitz : The Nazi Assault on Humanity highly recommend this first-person account that tells in unemotional terms the day-to-day living and struggling to remain human in Auschwitz concentraioncamp.

Playing for Time - a first-person memoir by one of the "Orchestra Girls" of Auschwitz, women forced to perform operas and classics for their Nazi captives. Incredibly moving.

Auschwitz : True Tales from a Grotesque Land - memoir of a survivor of Auschwitz Concentration Camp, a riveting history very much from the female perspective.

Death Dealer : Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz - autobiography of Rudolf Hess, perhaps history's most prolific mass murderer. Unapologetic, a revealing look inside the mind of murderer.

Between Two Streams : A Diary from Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp.

Eyewitness Auschwitz: 3 years in the gas chambers memoir by one of the few surviving members of the Sonderkommando

Auschwitz : A Doctor's Eye-Witness Account - written by a prisoner doctor who worked directly under the supervision of Nazi Doctor Mengele. Not for the faint of heart.

This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen — a first-hand narrative of life at Auschwitz, originally published in Polish.
