The biography of Franz Stangl, commandant of the Treblinka extermination camp - a classic and utterly compelling study of evilOnly four men commanded Nazi extermination (as opposed to concentration) camps. Gitta Sereny's investigation of this man's mind, and of the influences which shaped him, has become a classic.
