[A] prodigious work of scholarship. . . . In chronicling the
history of the first Nazi extermination camp at Chelmno, Montague
shows how the camp broke the psychological barrier for establishing
subsequent factories of death, and became the model for death camps
such as Treblinka and Auschwitz.--Jewish Book World
[Montague's] claim for this book as the first 'comprehensive
history' of this least-known killing center is no exaggeration;
this volume will be the standard work on its subject in the years
to come.--Holocaust and Genocide Studies
A definitive work. Essential. All levels/libraries.--Choice
Exceptionally detailed and conscientiously researched. . . .
Montague's book is a major addition to the literature of the
Holocaust--thorough, fearless, and filling a substantial void. . .
. Chelmno and the Holocaust is a "must read" for serious students
of this unimaginable period.--Martyrdom & Resistance
Montague's work deserves all of the acclaim it has earned. . . . A
fantastic study of history's least-known death camp.--H-German
Much more than a mere summary enriched with some new details from
archival findings. Montague has a Dantesque story to tell: it is
the story of Chelmno and its immediate surroundings as an
apocalyptic murder scene where German perpetrators, Jewish and Roma
inmates, and Polish laborers met on a daily basis. . . .
[Montague's book is] an altogether remarkable, informative,
readable, and well-edited book.--American Historical Review
