HOLOCAUST STUDIES

HITLER'S DEATH CAMPS

The Sanity of Madness

Hitler's Death Camps sheds light of understanding on one of the most horrifying and inhuman episodes in history. Drawing on her firsthand visits to all nineteen primary camps of the infamous concentration system stretching throughout Europe; on her contacts with surviving inmates and former Nazis; and on twenty years' study of a mass of documents, Konnilyn Feig brings the perspective of a historian and scholar to her quest for the meaning of the Holocaust. Written in a clear and eloquent style, Hitler's Death Camps will speak to all who seek comprehension of this tragedy that has indelibly seared the conscience of mankind.

"Hitler's Death Camps is one of those fundamental works that we need to understand the universe of hate and murder which Nazi Germany created."
—Lucy S. Dawidowicz

"Dr. Feig writes in a manner that is contemporary and accessible to a great many people, men and women, older and younger, those who lived through it, and those who were never there. She can reach them all."
—Raul Hilberg

"An authoritative and compelling study of the collective madness of murderers and their accomplices. Scrupulously exacting in historical detail, the product of twenty years of exhaustive research, it is an important book that will not be superseded for many a year." —Irving Halperin
