Before Auschwitz - Jewish Prisoners in the Prewar Concentration Camps

About the author

Kim Wünschmann is Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary History at Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich.

Summary

Nazis began detaining Jews in camps as soon as they came to power in 1933. Kim Wünschmann reveals the origin of these extralegal detention sites, the harsh treatment Jews received there, and the message the camps sent to Germans: that Jews were enemies of the state, dangerous to associate with and fair game for acts of intimidation and violence.
