Auschwitz: A HIstory

For whom ever read this book or knows anything more about the subject please comment- In this book at the very end they speak up prisoners who escaped from Auschwitz and with writer documentation and photographs of what was happening at Auschwitz, Why did the Allies not bomb the camp, and in fact they bomb around it, but still they did not bomb the camp. For anyone that knows more about this subject I am very interested.

I think they would not or could not bomb the camp because of the prisoners.

I know this is late. While I do not know about Auschwitz in particular, I do know about Buchenwald. The Allies did not bomb the camps because of the prisoners. However, in the case of Buchenwald as soon as there was a change in the bombing protocol, i.e. moving the prisoners out of the factories into the woods, the Allies immediately began to bomb them. It really was a matter of not killing civilians, or at least as few as possible
