'Much has been written and is well known about the horrors of the Warsaw ghetto and the Auschwitz death camp. Tomasz Ceran breaks entirely new ground with this first account of a labour camp in Torun that tells us much about the Nazi mind-set and reveals in tragic detail the casual de-humanization and indirect extermination of ordinary Polish civilians.' -Harry T. Dickinson, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Edinburgh 'This is a fine book. After painstakingly combing available archival sources in regional Polish archives, the author has succeeded in producing a carefully constructed, focused history of one overlooked detention camp in Nazi-occupied Polish Pomerania. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of this little-known site and skilfully portrays its significance in the wider context of the wartime German policy of ethnic cleansing, racial sorting, colonization, outright plunder and killing.' - Gordon Horwitz, Associate Professor of History, Illinois Wesleyan University
