THE BUSINESS OF GENOCIDE: THE SS, SLAVE LABOR AND THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Book ID/图书代码： 13014005B00064

English Summary/英文概要： During World War II, hundreds of thousands of prisoners were worked to death by the Nazis under a brutal system of slave labour in the concentration camps. By 1942, this vast network of slavery extended across all of German-occupied Europe, but the whole operation was run by a surprisingly small staff of bureaucrats - no more than 200 engineers and managers who worked in the Business Administration Main Office of the SS. Their projects included designing and constructing the concentration camps and gas chambers, building secret underground weapons factories, and brokering slave labourers to private companies such as Volkswagen and IG Farben. This text contradicts the assumption that the SS forced slavery upon the German economy, demonstrating that instead industrialists actively sought out the Business Administration Main Office as a valued partner in the war economy. Moreover, while the bureaucrats who oversaw Holocaust operations have often been seen as technocrats or simple "cogs in the machinery", the work reveals their ideological dedication, even fanatical devotion, to slavery and genocide in the name of National Socialism.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 二战的时候，数百万的战俘被残酷的纳粹逼迫在集中营里从事强体力劳动，最后活活累死。 到1942年的时候，这张巨大的奴隶网已经在整个被德军侵占的欧洲铺撒开来了，但是这样一个巨大的“业务”背后却只有几个官僚分子操纵一切------不到200位工程师和经理人在SS的总部工作。 SS总司令部于1938开始组织大规模集中营工厂，自此以后，德国的多家知名企业-----其中包括大众、梅塞施米特和IG Farben都积极从SS掌管的集中营中“招募”劳动力，也向他们取经，如何管理这些奴隶。此外，SS总部的那些土木工程师们还参与德国精良高科技武器----譬如V-1巡航导弹和V-2火箭的地下工厂的建造。 SS干的坏事还不止这些，他们还监督过奥斯威辛毒气室的修建工作，1942年以后，由于越来越多的欧洲犹太人在大屠杀中死去，而第三帝国的建造又需要大量的劳动力，这可难倒了SS的头头们。SS的官僚们把一拨又一波的奴隶送到军工厂里卖苦力，然后当这些精疲力竭的囚犯实在干不下去的时候，他们就会被送到毒气室。 《大屠杀产业》有利地驳斥了那种说法，声称是SS硬把奴隶们塞到德国的经济中去的，相反正是那些产业家们主动寻求SS帮助，视SS为军工经济发展的最佳合作伙伴。此外，Allen 还揭露了SS官僚们的嘴脸，人们往往只是把这些大屠杀的监督者们看作是纯粹的技术专家，或者仅仅是鸡肋，可事实上他们对意识形态的专注劲，对以民族社会主义的名义进行的奴隶制度和大屠杀的疯狂热忠，是可见一般的。
