Slave Labor in Nazi Concentration Camps examines the slave labor
carried out by concentration camp prisoners from 1942 and the
effect this had on the German wartime economy. This work goes far
beyond the sociohistorical 'reconstructions' that dominate
Holocaust studies - it combines cultural history with structural
history, drawing relationships between social structures and
individual actions. It also considers the statements of both
perpetrators and victims, and takes the biographical approach as
the only possible way to confront the destruction of the individual
in the camps after the fact. The first chapter presents a
comparative analysis of slave labor across the different
concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau.
The subsequent chapters analyse the similarities and differences
between various subcamps where prisoners were utilised for the
wartime economy, based on the example of the 86 subcamps of
Neuengamme concentration camp, which were scattered across northern
Germany. The most significant difference between conditions at the
various subcamps was that in some, hardly any prisoners died, while
in others, almost half of them did. This work carries out a
systematic comparison of the subcamp system, a kind of study which
does not exist for any other camp system. This is of great
significance, because by the end of the war most concentration
camps had placed over 80 percent of their prisoners in subcamps.
This work therefore offers a comparative framework that is highly
useful for further examinations of National Socialist concentration
camps, and may also be of benefit to comparative studies of other
camp systems, such as Stalin's gulags.
