A groundbreaking, haunting, and profoundly moving history of modernity's greatest tragedy: concentration camps.For over 100 years, at least one concentration camp has existed somewhere on Earth. Even in the twenty-first century, as we continue to reckon with the magnitude and horror of the Holocaust, history tells us we have broken our own solemn promise of "never again."In this harrowing work based on archival records and interviews during travel to four continents, Andrea Pitzer reveals for the first time the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps. First used as battlefield strategy, camps have evolved with each passing decade, in the scope of their effects and the savage practicality with which governments have employed them.
From the Philippines Beginning with 1890s Cuba, she pinpoints concentration camps around the world and across decades.
