The Chelmno Death Camp by Artur Hojan

This book is a comprehensive account of the Chelmno death camp. Chelmno was not only the first Nazi death camp, it also set a horrific example in establishing gas vans as the first mass use of poison gas to kill Jews. Chris Webb and Artur Hojan cover the construction and the development of the mass murder process, as perfected by the Nazis. The story is painstakingly told from all sides, the Jewish inmates, some who survived the Holocaust, the perpetrators, the Polish Arbeitskommando, and others. A major part of this work is the Jewish Roll of Remembrance that includes the few survivors and the Jews deported from the Reich, via the Litzmannstadt ghetto, to their deaths in the gas vans. The book is richly illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs and documents.

Chris Webb is the president of Renovaré, a Denver-based Christian spiritual formation organization. He is also an Anglican priest and new monastic who has served as a pastor in a range of urban and rural congregations in Wales. He's taught in seminaries and colleges, and he's a frequent speaker at retreats and conferences all around the world.
