This is a very well researched book about a Nazi prisoner camp in Belgium that most people have never heard of. There are lots of photographs and drawings (from prisoners) and although some of the information is a bit sketchy, the reader can get a real feel for what it must have been like to imprisoned there. One of the things that really stood out to me was the emphasis on how some of the Jewish prisoners turned on their fellow inmates and became informants and enforcers for the Nazis. A harsh example of man's inhumanity to man.
