Synopsis

How did a sophisticated, civilized nation like Germany sink into an abyss of degradation that had no bottom? How could the SS rulers of Buchenwald torture, starve, and murder defenseless prisoners? And how could Nazi doctors use the camp as their personal, ghoulish laboratory? Buchenwald: Hell on a Hilltop is a comprehensive examination of the depths of depravity into which the Third Reich sank.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

From 1933 to 1945, Germany was under the complete control of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. What began as the incarceration of anyone deemed "undesirable" gradually accelerated to the torture, starvation, and murder of defenseless inmates on such a massive scale that it is unmatched in modern times. And from 1937 until World War II's end, Buchenwald, high on a hill above Germany's "cultural capital" of Weimar, was the very epitome of this evil regime.
