Magyarok az SS ausztriai lágerbirodalmában

Examines the deportation and internment of Hungarian Jews in concentration camps and labor camps in Austria in 1944-45. Describes the operation of the camp at Mauthausen, as well as its satellite camps. Prisoners were taken for hard labor; some were engaged in useless activities and some were exploited for military and civil construction projects. Analyzes prisoner mortality, reflecting the treatment of different nationalities. Discusses the camps, mainly of Jewish prisoners, created in order to build up the fortress- and trench-system on the Hungarian-Austrian border to ward off the Soviet army. Deals with the residential and family camps of Hungarian Jews in Vienna and surroundings. The residential camps were like concentration camps, guarded by the SS; in the family camps, the prisoners were treated better. They were used in a wide range of work and had better chances of survival. Discusses, also, the reception of returning survivors in Hungary and Slovakia.
