Description
Focuses on the lives of male perpetrators after official hours and explores what influence this had on their work within the camp complex and vice versa. Family structures as well as comradeship among perpetrators were meant to help maintain a sense of normality. They benefited from the camp amenities and took advantage of the practice of robbery and appropriation of the prisoner's goods. Since work life and private life were intertwined in this way it makes sense to examine the Holocaust and mass crimes from this perspective.
