This book is a comprehensive account of the Chelmno death camp. Chelmno was not only the first Nazi death camp, it also set a horrific example in establishing gas vans as the first mass use of poison gas to kill Jews. Chris Webb and Artur Hojan cover the construction and the development of the mass murder process as perfected by the Nazis. The story is painstakingly told from all sides, the Jewish inmates, some who survived the Holocaust, the perpetrators, the Polish Arbeitskommando, and others.

A major part of this work is the Jewish Roll of Remembrance, which includes the few survivors and the Jews deported from the Reich, via the Litzmannstadt ghetto, to their deaths in the gas vans. The book is richly illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs and documents.

Reviews for The Chelmno Death Camp – History, Biographies, Remembrance

Chelmno is still relatively unknown, even among esteemed historians of the Holocaust. The importance of Chelmno in the development of the Holocaust is also not well understood and is certainly underresearched. This book is therefore timely. As always, Chris Webb brings his own style to the problem of how to write about the Nazi death camps while respecting the memory of the victims.--Cameron Munro, Tiergarten4 Association e.V. A crucial extension to our body of knowledge on the Holocaust, The Chelmno Death Camp is an authoritative and well-researched account of the construction, historical context, and liquidation of Hitler's first death camp.--William Allchorn, Associate Director of the Centre for the Analysis of the Radical Right (CARR) and Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Leeds
