The Holocaust: The Death Camps

Between 1933 and the end of the Second World War, millions of people were imprisoned and murdered simply because they were Jewish. The death camps established by the Nazis were not only brutal and desperate prisons, but also places of execution where over three million Jews were shot, gassed and tortured.

This book looks at these camps in detail. Where were they? How were they run? Who oversaw the camps and ordered the murders? What was daily life like for the prisoners? Sean Sheehan discusses these questions and others, and paints a thorough and haunting picture of the death camps of the Second World War.
