IN QUELLE TENEBRE | III EDIZ. 2005 | GITTA SERENY

This profound non-fiction work by Gitta Sereny presents a chilling psychological portrait through extensive interviews with Franz Stangl, commandant of Treblinka. The author reconstructs his life and the broader context of Nazi atrocities, exploring how bureaucracy, obedience, and ideological detachment enabled genocide. A deeply unsettling investigation, the book also unveils the complicity of institutions, including segments of the Catholic Church, in facilitating both the T4 euthanasia program and the post-war escape of war criminals.
