Hermann Langbein was allowed to know and see extraordinary things
forbidden to other Auschwitz inmates. Interned at Auschwitz in 1942
and classified as a non-Jewish political prisoner, he was assigned
as clerk to the chief SS physician of the extermination camp
complex, which gave him access to documents, conversations, and
actions that would have remained unknown to history were it not for
his witness and his subsequent research. Also a member of the
Auschwitz resistance, Langbein sometimes found himself in a
position to influence events, though at his peril. People in
Auschwitz is very different from other works on the most infamous
of Nazi annihilation centers. Langbein's account is a scrupulously
scholarly achievement intertwining his own experiences with
quotations from other inmates, SS guards and administrators,
civilian industry and military personnel, and official documents.
Whether his recounting deals with captors or inmates, Langbein
analyzes the events and their context objectively, in an
unemotional style, rendering a narrative that is unique in the
history of the Holocaust. This monumental book helps us comprehend
what has so tenaciously challenged understanding.
