In many cases, these sites revealed forgotten and vanished structures, where archaeological excavations can offer the possibility for commemorating the victims. The focus was on the central places of the camps, such as the gas chambers, crematoria, or execution sites, as well as prisoners’ barracks and the parade grounds. The work began in former concentration camps of the Nazi dictatorship. The research started about 25 years ago, at a time when the academy more generally was becoming interested in the history of National Socialism and the Holocaust. This book presents archaeological research from places of war, violence, protest and oppression of the 20th and the 21st centuries sites where the material relics give a deep insight to fateful events – a shadow of war.
