Summary: Kim WünschmannView on AmazonIn Before Auschwitz: Jewish Prisoners in the Prewar Concentration Camps (Harvard University Press 2015), Kim Wünschmann, DAAD Lecturer in Modern European History and a Member of the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex, tells the relatively unknown story of the Nazi pre-war concentration camps.  From 1933 to 1939, these sites of terror isolated, ostracized, and excluded Jews from German society. Drawing on a range of unexplored archives, Wünschmann explores the evolution and systematization of the concentration camp system.
