About this book
Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's The Evidence Room is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz - arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility.
Author / Editor information
Anne Bordeleau was awarded a PhD from the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies (University College London, UK) after receiving her professional degree and Masters in the history and theory of architecture from McGill University (Montreal).

"[The Evidence Room] is a remarkable achievement, among the most important works in my view on the Nazi 'project' - accessible but concise and extraordinarily compelling."
