It frames key disputes around the availability and credibility of documentary and material evidence, and analyzes the problematic character of witness accounts and perpetrator statements in orthodox Holocaust literature. The work also surveys a structured set of gas-chamber witness reports, beginning with the origins of the book’s history and moving into Auschwitz as a crime scene.","AUSCHWITZ:  \nEYEWITNESS REPORTS AND PERPETRATOR CONFESSIONS OF THE HOLOCAUST  \nJürgen Graf  \nAuschwitz:  \nEyewitness Reports and Perpetrator Confessions of the Holocaust  \n30 Gas-Chamber Witnesses Scrutinized  \nCastle Hill Publishers  \nP.O.
