This was a great book, and I am glad to have this addition to my collection. In it, there are recollections from citizens about the prisoners of the camp, the way they were moved from the railway to the camp at night, how people had babies in neighboring towns to avoid having Dachau on the birth certificates. I have often wondered how people in these towns near to where the camps are located are able to ignore what is going on. So many people said they never knew what was happening, and I have always wondered how it would be possible to ignore the smell, the people, the trains, etc. I thought this book was really enlightening.
