Terror was central to the Nazi regime, and the Nazi concentration
camps were places of horror where prisoners were dehumanized and
robbed of their dignity and where millions were murdered. How did
prisoners cope with the brutal and degrading conditions of life
within the camps? In this highly original book Maja Suderland takes
the reader inside the concentration camps and examines the everyday
social life of prisoners - their daily activities and routines, the
social relationships and networks they created and the strategies
they developed to cope with the harsh conditions and the brutality
of the guards. Without overlooking the violence of the camps, the
contradictions of camp life or the elusive complexity of the
multicultural prisoner society, Suderland explores the hidden
social practices that enabled prisoners to preserve their human
dignity and create a sense of individuality and community despite
the appalling circumstances. This remarkable account of social life
in extreme conditions will be of great interest to students and
scholars in history, sociology and the social sciences generally,
as well as to a wider readership interested in the Holocaust and
the concentration camps.
