The book I'm going to talk about today is a work that I believe you will all be impressed with. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the site of the largest mass murder in human history. In Auschwitz, Laurence Rees reveals new insights from more than 100 original interviews with Auschwitz survivors and Nazi perpetrators who speak on the record for the first time. Rees examines the strategic decisions that led the Nazi leadership to prescribe Auschwitz as its primary site for the extinction of Europe's Jews—their "Final Solution." Many people think they know the story of Auschwitz and Final Solution. It's the place where Jews were murdered. End of story.
You can also find information about Auschwitz commanders and their killing methods in the book. For example; Rudolf Höss. Höss was the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. He tested and implemented means to accelerate Hitler's order to systematically exterminate the Jewish population of Nazi-occupied Europe, known as the Final Solution.
According to the memoirs of Rudolf Höss, Adolf Eichmann suggested using "showers of carbon monoxide while bathing, as was done with mental patients in some places in the Reich." Instead of leading to water, the showerheads were connected to canisters of carbon monoxide. You can also read about; Zyklon B, massive gas chambers, crematoria and hell vans.
If you want to read about Auschwitz and the Holocaust, I highly recommend the book. I believe everyone should read this book and that we never forget the 1.1 million lives lost at Auschwitz.
