1946 · Poznan (Katowice)
by Strabski, Stanislaw
Poznan (Katowice): Zachodniej Agencji Prasowej, 1946. First edition. Softcover. g- to g+. Quarto (9 x 6 1/2"). 32pp. Original printed yellow wrappers.
Although modern scholars have dismissed the claims, Polish journalist Stanislaw Strabski, also a member of the Glowna Komisja Badania Zbrodni Niemieckich w Polsce (Committee for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland) published this booklet asserting that the Nazis produced vast quantities of soaps out of human fat during the last half of the war.
To give credit to his statements, he accompanies his text with several b/w photographic reproductions of the Spanner's soap factory in Dantzig (now Gdansk) where the author claims that the soaps were made. Since then, it has been clearly established by historians that if the Nazis did indeed attempt to produce human soap, they never succeeded in their endeavor.
Wrappers slightly creased, with light water-staining along fore-edge, slightly affecting pages throughout. Text in Polish. Wrappers in overall good- to good, interior in good+ condition. (Inventory #: 41793)
