Chelmno and the Holocaust : the history of Hitler's first death camp

This book is the first comprehensive work to detail all aspects of the camp's history, organisation, and operations which served as a template for the Nazis' "Final Solution." Reveals events leading to the establishment of the camp, how the mobile killing squad employed the world's first gas van to terminate the lives of mentally-ill patients, and the assembly-line procedure employed in the camp to commit genocide on the Jewish population.
