0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. their lives were worth nothingBy RonAs a student of the Second World War; the existence of slave labor camps in occupied Europe was well understood. However; the extraordinary detail and immense research conducted has brought forward a very detailed; and disturbing document. Difficult to understand how awful the Poles were to their fellow countrymen. To torture innocent human beings through beatings; rapes; starvation and inhuman work environment and living conditions is unimaginable. The Germans and their Polish collaborators will rot in hell.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Must readBy Stanley J. ChernyImpressive 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. The translation is rough in some parts but this book is the best overall book I have read about the camps; their social structure; organization; interations of liberation movements and economics. 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.3 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
