Ian Kershaw writes<\/a> in a review of KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps,<\/em> a newly published book by Nikolaus Wachsmann: <\/p>\n

<\/a>Is it possible to say anything new about Nazi Germany? This is, after all, probably the most thoroughly researched period in modern history. … [C]an a major work that alters our perceptions and influences our interpretation still be written?<\/p>\n

Nearly two and a half million men, women and children passed through these camps. More than 1.7 million died in them (nearly a million of them in Auschwitz). Around 60,000 men and women served in the camps as guards and other personnel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kershaw praises the book as “brilliant” and notes that, among other reasons for its importance, Wachsmann tells what happened “through the eyes of those who inhabited the camps.”<\/p>\n

Boris Lurie<\/a> had been doing that for decades. His NO!art paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, and writings<\/a>, largely overlooked for decades, are currently mounted in a retrospective exhibit<\/a> at the Jewish Museum Berlin. <\/p>\n

It makes a spread of two very singular girls<\/a>. Lurie is either spinning or laughing in his grave. I think both.<\/p>\n
