Auschwitz: not long ago, not far away

Catalogue of the first-ever travelling exhibition about the Auschwitz concentration camp..More than 280 objects and images from the exhibition are illustrated herein. Drawn from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and other collections around the world, they range from the intimate (such as victims' family snapshots and personal belongings) to the immense (an actual surviving barrack from the Auschwitz III-Monowitz satellite camp). An authoritative yet accessible text weaves the stories behind these artefacts into an encompassing history of Auschwitz .
