Illustrated account of the infamous Auschwitz (Oswiecim is the Polish name) concentration camp. The subtitle is The Story of a Murder Camp. The front cover has a photograph of the death camp and the railway lines leading to the crematorium. The account in This was Oswiecim was compiled from official records and evidence and eye-witness accounts. The text is translated from the Yiddish original by Joseph Leftwich. There is a forward by M. Henryk Strasburger, the Polish Ambassador, a preface from the author, a word of introduction, and then the text in twelve chapters. There are accompanying black and white photographs and, at the end of the work several pages of the architects plan for Treblinka. The reader should be cautioned that this is a detailed and depressing account of the horrors that occurred at Auschwitz.
