How could an ordinary town become a site of such terror? Why was this particular town chosen? Who conceived, created and constructed the camp? This work reveals how an unremarkable Polish village was transformed into a killing field. Over 1,200,000 murders were committed at Auschwitz. Using architectural designs and planning documents discovered in Poland and Russia, and with over 200 illustrations, this book tells how the town became the epicentre of the “Final Solution”.
