Summary of Laurence Rees's Auschwitz

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The story of the decision-making process that led to the extermination of more than a million people at Auschwitz is one of the most shocking in history. Without Höss’s leadership, the camp would never have functioned as it did.

#2 The most urgent need for the Nazis was to understand why Germany had lost the war and made such a humiliating peace. They believed they had found the answer in the Jews.

#3 After the first Nazi poster attack on the Jews, which claimed that their hatred was based on scientific fact, many Nazis began to claim that they hated the Jews because they lived in cities and not because they were Jewish.

#4 The first prisoners who entered Dachau in 1933 were mostly political opponents of the Nazis. Jews were taunted, humiliated, and beaten in those early days, but it was the left-wing politicians of the former regime who were seen as the more immediate threat.
