  Praise for Auschwitz

  “A thoughtful overview of a place terrible to remember—and one that must always be remembered.”

  —Kirkus Reviews

  “Steinbacher . . . avoids extensive analysis or morality tales; the meaning of Auschwitz is in the details, which she provides with clinical precision.”

  —Publishers Weekly

  “This . . . poignant study is a worthy addition to any public or academic library, and is highly recommended.”

  —Library Journal

  “Just 157 pages, Sybille Steinbacher’s Auschwitz: A History is anything but slight. The German historian reveals details of the Polish city, starting from the thirteenth century, and then brings us to the horrors of the Nazi death camp— explaining why they chose that city to exterminate the Jews—the fate of the Germans who ran the place and its place in the postwar era.”

  —New York Post
