Our take on the Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany: The New Histories

A collection of scholarly essays edited by Jane Caplan and Nikolaus Wachsmann, first published in 2009, surveying the camp system from its early years through the war's end. The contributors draw on postwar trial records and later research to trace how the camps were organized, staffed and experienced. It is written for students and general readers who want a compact, research-based account rather than a memoir or a narrative history. Compared with single-author surveys, its essay format gives broader coverage but less of a continuous story.

Questions and answers

Is this a memoir or a scholarly history?
It is a scholarly collection of essays by academic historians, not a survivor memoir. It synthesizes research on how the camp system developed and operated.
Do I need prior knowledge of the period?
Some background helps. The essays assume familiarity with the broad outlines of Nazi Germany, though the introduction orients newcomers.
Who edited the volume?
Jane Caplan and Nikolaus Wachsmann edited the collection, and Caplan is the author name listed on this edition. Individual chapters are written by different historians.
How does it compare with a single-author survey?
It offers wider thematic coverage through multiple specialists but less narrative continuity. A single-author survey reads more smoothly as a continuous account.
What edition is this?
This is the 2009 paperback from Routledge, in English. Check the listing for whether it is a later printing.
Where is the Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany: The New Histories cheapest?
At Kobo, for $60.99, as of our latest check.
