Death Comes in Yellow" presents the history of one slave labor camp in order to shed light on all aspects of the slave labor camps established in Poland under German occupation. Hasag-Skarzysko was one of hundreds of camps scattered throughout occupied Poland. They were distinguished by size; the nationality of the prisoners; their location; the date of their establishment; and the authority in charge. The large number of labor camps reflected the German policy of exploiting the work forces of the occupied countries. These camps were part of a Europe-wide system of forced labor.The first part of this volume reviews the external history of the camp. The second section; which studies the internal workings of the camp; is quite different in approach and includes an analysis of prisoner society and a moving description of the individual prisoners struggle to survive.

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A few good ideas; but not worth keeping.By MaggiesI read through this book and then passed it on to someone else. I just did not think that I would use this again as a reference. It would probably work well to get a class discussing ideas for small town economic development; but not good enough to keep as a reference tool.
