What the Tour Guides Don’t Tell You

Carolyn Yeager visited Auschwitz as a tourist armed with a broad study of the literature surrounding the world-famous site, and from that visit has proceeded to deconstruct the Auschwitz shown to her and others as a “death” or “extermination” camp.

By taking the reader on an “underground guided tour” around Auschwitz-Birkenau, she clearly demonstrates it to be, at varying times and locations within the perimeters, a simple labour, concentration and transit camp for political prisoners, where the health of the inmates was the prime concern of the camp authorities.

Sound unbelievable? After reading this carefully researched book, you will see the horror stories for so long spread about Auschwitz-Birkenau in a new light, and you may very well be so impressed you’ll want to share your new vision with others. This cautiously written work moves toward a surprising conclusion that leaves us pondering how so much that is not true has seeped into our consciousness as “fact.”
