First Thus. 302pp. This is the story of Mauthausen - from its foundation in 1938, to May 1945 when the entry of the American Army revealed its full, stark horror to the world. Constructed by slave labour, this infamous death camp absorbed prisoners of all nationalities - Jews, gypsies, Russians, Poles, Hungarians, Spaniards, Yugoslavs, and Englishmen. Here SS guards and doctors perfected methods by which human beings could be destroyed; by hanging, flogging, decapitation, shooting, gassing, vivisection, and pseudo-scientific experiments. Untold numbers were exterminate in maniacal obedience to the Third Reich's 'final solution.' This book contains disturbing images. The book has light general wear and foxing on the page edges but overall remains tight. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
