This volume documents the internal orders given by SS camp
commanders to the guards of Auschwitz. Issued as hectographs, very
few orders survived, scattered through German, Polish and Russian
archives and have been largely disregarded by researchers until
now. However, the sheer abundance of detail they offer renders them
both an impressive witness to 'every day life' of the SS at the
very scene of mass extermination and a significant source for the
history of the Holocaust.
This volume contains contributions on selected aspects of camp
policy in the 'Third Reich'. Aided by the opening of Eastern
European archives, new questions and research perspectives have
been presented, ranging from the structure of the 'society of
prisoners' and the conditions of the policy of systematic
extermination in the occupied East to the awareness of these crimes
within the German society.
