Irène Gaucher. Todeslager [Death Camp]. Preface by Vercors (Jean Marcel Bruller).

Rare German edition of this pictorial history of the most infamous Nazi death camps. Important for the German publishers’ preface, demanding that “we fellow Germans must see what we would prefer to forget. We must know how the world sees us…” Includes the noted photographic illustration of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel in Buchenwald (p. 7). Also contains a double-page map of the camps across Europe. Originally issued in French in 1946 under the title “Camps de Mort.”
