Along the Roads to Hell by Michael Admiraal (PRE-ORDER: publication date 1 February 2025)
‘Auschwitz, never again’
How many times do these three words have to be said?
Auschwitz was the epitome of man-made hell. But there were many roads to similar infernos, right across Occupied Europe.
Along the Road to Hell is the story of an intergenerational road trip - a father, born in the 1920s and a baby-boomber son - to eight concentration camps in present day Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and France. It reveals how they both look at the atrocities of the Nazi regime from their own perspective.
It also provides a historical description and a travel guide for anyone who wants to know more about concentration camps - what happened during the war, who were the victims and the perpetrators, and what still can be seen and experienced. Maps and images of the camps make the journey complete.
Only when you have actually been to hell, can you truly start to understand what it must have been like to experience it.
