(More customer reviews)Impressive book that describes, analyzes and chronicles the Skarzysko-Kamienna Slave Labor Camp. This is a little known place with a unique structure amoung the hundreds of forgotten camps. The author also provides a unique analysis of the economics of this camp and its social structure.

She also provides a unique insight into why many voluntereed to enter the camp and provides much historical background and the links to other Concentration Camps including Plaszow, the camp where Oskar Schindler was associated.
