What emerges is a highly credible and deeply shocking account of a slave-labor camp where the cruelty and brutality is comparable to the more publicized extermination camps like Treblinka and Auschwitz. Inmates were regarded as expendable material to be kept alive at a level only adequate enough to perform work duties.
They were starved, beaten, and subject to daily terrors and humiliations. This is an excellent addition to the field of Holocaust studies. See all Editorial Reviews. Product details File Size: January 10, Sold by: Share your thoughts with other customers.

Editorial Reviews
At times, there are several testimonies from the same person at different times in their lives and by different entities for different reasons. Some of the testimonies were taken right after liberation while the survivors were still processing these events.

Many may have been cautious about revealing too many details for fear of retribution or they may have blocked out details that were too difficult to remember. Some of the testimonies were taken by the German government prior to the trial of Walther Becker for his role in the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Wierzbnik. These testimonies were focused on a specific time period and a specific man so are limited.
Some of the testimonies were a result of the efforts of the Shoah foundation, Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and other museums and entities who have made an effort to record as many testimonies as possible before the survivors are no longer with us. Other than these testimonies and a few memoirs, there are few records of this camp available.
Editori Laterza :: Remembering Survival. Inside a Nazi Slave-Labor Camp
The book takes one from the pre-war situation in this area through the war and to the present day. It is an interesting look at a camp that was specifically set up for slave labor and not for annihilation of the Jews. It is easy for a non-historian to read and understand. It does have an extensive notes section which tells where he got his information. Although the material in itself is upsetting, the way Christopher R. Browning presents it, makes it not overwhelmingly depressing. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the different types of camps the Nazis set up during their regime.
You get a different view of some of the perpetrators and you get a view of the various ways the Jews rebelled and resisted.
One person found this helpful. This is an in depth look at the Polish Jew families that were impacted by the Nazi takeovers. Daily work camp life people and descriptions brings you into the story. Detailed and painstakingly researched, one is taken inside the moments by walking beside the victims.
Inside a Nazi Slave-Labor Camp
Endlessly shocking, this is a microcosm for gaining an understanding of the whole, of both the perpetrators and the victims. Browning is a master of clarity -- so clear it is relentlessly painful -- tempered by wisdom. Here we learn facts as we must, but we come out the other side with some of the wisdom of the author having penetrated us, making us better for it.
