Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a national day of commemoration on which the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust are memorialized. The internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It has been seventy years since the end of WWII.
Commemorate the Holocaust with KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps by Nikolaus Wachsmann, read by Paul Hodgson. In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers an unprecedented, integrated account of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through their demise, seventy years ago, in the spring of 1945. The Third Reich has been studied in more depth than virtually any other period in history, and yet until now there has been no history of the camp system that tells the full story of its broad development and the everyday experiences of its inhabitants, both perpetrators and victims, and all those living in what Primo Levi called the gray zone.
