| Summary: | Translated into German from the original Czech, this volume combines the keen perspective of an eyewitness observer in the tradition of Langbein and Kogon with the analytical skills of a trained historian able to link developments in the camp to the history of the concentration camp system and to general political events in the Third Reich. As the author notes, Dachau prisoners “felt every significant change very quickly, and literally on their hides” (p. 10)., Assigned to the prison infirmary, Zámečník witnessed the arrival of prisoner transports at the main camp and was well placed to observe prisoners and guards, living conditions, and death at Dachau. |
