Suddenly there is a blow to my face, I am hurled to one side. ‘ My child, I have to go with her!’ I scream. But Dr Mengel is standing before me, whip raised. ‘ Maul halten, shut up!’ His eyes gleam. Filled with fear I cower down. In 1943, as the Nazi power swept across central Europe, Rosa, her husband Emanuel & their daughter, Judy, were forced into hiding. But after a year & a half of living a terrifying, day-by-day existence, they were betrayed. As they arrived in Auschwitz, Rosa was torn from her husband & her only daughter. Could she dare to hope she would see either of them again? Somehow, Rosa fought the horror & humiliation of the camp, on occasion coming dangerously close to death. In nursing the people trapped beside her, she helped others survive, but tragically she also watched them die – including a mother she had met before, with a similar story & a daughter the very same age. Her name was Edith Frank. Written immediately in the months after the war, Auschwitz... ...

Product Description

At the terrible heart of the modern age lies Auschwitz.

In a total inversion of earlier hopes about the use of science & technology to improve, extend & protect human life, Auschwitz manipulated the same systems to quite different ends.

In Sybille Steinbachers terse, powerful new book, the reader is led through the process by which something unthinkable to any European in the 1930s had become a sprawling, industrial reality during the course of the world war.

How Auschwitz grew & mutated into an entire dreadful city, how both those who managed it & those who were killed by it came to be in Poland in the 1940s, & how it was allowed to happen, is something everyone needs to underst&.
