Chanced today upon a long and detailed review from the online London Review of Books of the recently published KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps by Nikolaus Wachsmann. It's obviously a brilliant and necessary work, and one the world must be thankful for, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to read it. Getting to the end of the review, elegantly written as it is, was difficult given the level of depression the content engendered. It felt so strange to complete the final paragraph and get to the magazine's usual line: We hope you have enjoyed reading this free book review...
No I didn't. Nobody could.
