Office Français, 1946; Softcover; 197 pages; 23×15 cm A book with 197 pp., with documents, witness reports, descriptions of deportation, transportation, sterilisation, gassing of prisoners. Then 60 pp. with photos on glossy paper of the cruelties committed in the camps. A list of all concentration camps in Europe with a map in the back of the book.  Dreadful! Methodical, organised, trivialised madness (like evil, cf Hannah Arendt), that's what a concentration camp is. The horror, the violence, the destruction of humanity systematised, in constant search of efficiency; a real start up of death. This must not be hidden; we must not only be ashamed of it; we must show the horror in order to warn, to prevent, to educate, to guarantee a "never again". In 8 brocaded, torn lower headdress.
