The Anatomy of Hell

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

The first study on Nazi Concentration Camps was "Der SS-Staat. Das 
System der deutschen Konzentrationslager" by Eugen Kogon from the year 
1946. It's based on his own experiences as an inmate in Buchenwald and 
unfolds a general sociological perspective. A recommendable read.
