The realization that some men will construct a factory in which to kill other men raises the gravest questions about man himself. We have entered an age which we cannot avoid labeling ‘After Auschwitz.' If we are to begin to understand ourselves we must somehow come to to grips with the reality of Auschwitz. The study which follows is an attempt to come to grips with a part of that reality. . . . an examination of the period which immediately precedes Auschwitz, the period from 1933, when Hitler came to power, until late 1938 and early 1939, when the machinery which eventually administered a Final Solution was established.\" -- From the introduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker \u0026 Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41303466573858,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1509\/8658\/files\/71zN-zibQEL._SL1450.jpg?v=1707945927"},{"product_id":"cold-crematorium-reporting-from-the-land-of-auschwitz","title":"Cold Crematorium: Reporting from the Land of Auschwitz","description":"\u003cp\u003eDebreczeni, József (Author) , Olchváry, Paul (Translator) , Freedland, Jonathan (Contribution by)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJózsef Debreczeni, a prolific Hungarian-language journalist and poet, arrived in Auschwitz in 1944; had he been selected to go left, his life expectancy would have been approximately forty-five minutes.

At a certain point, it became clear that testimony contained at its core an essential lacuna; in other words, the survivors bore witness to something it is impossible to bear witness to.

This is the hauntingly resonant true story that everyone should know.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOn March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents’ homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women—many of them teenagers—were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reich Marks (about $200) apiece for the Nazis to take them as slave labor. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would survive.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe facts of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men among them. Sent to almost certain death, the young women were powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish—but also because they were female. Now acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women’s history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43424254394402,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1509\/8658\/files\/815HEg7ea2L._SL1500.jpg?v=1736784480"}],"url":"https:\/\/vaholocaust.myshopify.com\/collections\/auschwitz.oembed","provider":"Virginia Holocaust Museum Shop \u0026 Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
