‘May the world at least behold a
drop, a fraction of this tragic world in which we lived,’ Salmen
Gradowski wrote in a letter dated 6 September 1944, which he buried in a
flask found near the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau after its
liberation. His words supply the epigram for Nikolaus Wachsmann’s
history of the concentration camps, KL – the Nazi abbreviation of Konzentrationslager.
Wachsmann’s book is a world-making history: from the close observations
of individual lives and moments, and of historical forces great and
small, his subject emerges. It is no ordinary world. ‘There are times
when history is let off the leash,’ the Polish academic Jan Kott
remembered one of his teachers saying of the war years. Wachsmann
understands this..
