This book tells a story to shake the conscience of the world.
It is the catalogue of the first-ever traveling exhibition about the Auschwitz concentration camp, where 1.1 million people-mostly Jews, but also non-Jewish Poles, Roma, and others-lost their lives.
More than 280 objects and images from the exhibition are illustrated herein. Drawn from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and other collections around the world, they range from the intimate (such as victims' family snapshots and personal belongings) to the immense (an actual surviving barrack from the Auschwitz III-Monowitz satellite camp); all are eloquent in their testimony.
An authoritative yet accessible text weaves the stories behind these artifacts into an encompassing history of Auschwitz-from a Polish town at the crossroads of Europe, to the dark center of the Holocaust, to a powerful site of remembrance.
Auschwitz: Not long ago. Not far away. is an essential volume for everyone who is interested in history and its lessons.

Starred Review"In 2001, the Museum of Jewish Heritage opened in lower Manhattan, in sight of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Now the third-largest Holocaust museum in the world, it has devoted three of its floors to a major traveling exhibit. Historian van Pelt (Auschwitz: 1270 to the Present) offers not only a catalog of the exhibit but an authoritative history of the transformation of the small Polish village named after the Aramaic word for guests to a Nazi death camp where 1.1 million people were killed. As visitors approach the exhibit, they are confronted by a German National Railway freight car similar to the ones that carried men, women, and children to the camps. They then walk through hundreds of photographs, maps, architectural plans, works of art, artifacts-ragged shoes, coats, dresses, prisoners' uniforms, a trumpet played by a jazz musician-and even a reconstruction of an Auschwitz barracks. The items come from the museum's collection as well as from Poland's Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and more than 20 other institutions and private collections from around the world.
Whether readers have visited the Auschwitz museum or are experiencing it here for the first time, this comprehensive yet accessible work presents a sobering history. Highly recommended for both public and academic libraries.
