Nahezu emotionslos und darum mit um so eindrücklicherer Sachlichkeit dokumentiert Hermann Langbein mit den Aussagen von Opfern und Tätern den Alltag in Auschwitz. Bei seinen Protokollen hat er sich von dem Grundsatz leiten lassen, daß die Wahrheit über den Massenmord im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert genauso den Verzicht auf die Dämonisierung der Mörder wie auf die Apotheose der Opfer verlange. »Die Anklage gilt der unmenschlichen Situation, die das nationalsozialistische System bewirkt.«

First Sentence

"In a sociological study of the concentration camps, H.G. Adler, who had first-hand experience of them, writes: "The problems of Nazism represent nothing but an extreme-admittedly insanely extreme-special case of conditions or possibilities that are encountered in modern society all over the world, at least latently and often manifestly...Cruelty and deindividualization are what make a concentration camp possible; both have to be systematically fostered for it to exist and become what it is: a place of absolute and ultimate subjugation beyond the bounds of a life worth living.""
