Death Books from Auschwitz
"This register of names is based on the extant death books of Auschwitz kept in the Archives of the State Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In all they contain 68,864 entries. This register lists the last and first names along with the date and place of birth and the date of death as registered in the death books. The number of each entry is included to identify each one exactly." (from "Notes on the Entries" v. 2, p. 3). The Annex in volume 3 is an "alphabetical list of registered prisoners of KL Auschwitz-Birkenau whose deaths are documented ... This supplementary register documents the deaths of 11,146 prisoners ... (v. 3, p. 1417).
Silent Churches
Through the aid of many institutions (e.g. Institutum Balticum, Radio Liberty Research, Radio Free Europe) and individuals the author has gathered a vast amount of factual information on the current state of religion in communist Eastern Europe. He has examined it warily and illustrates that the churches are not silent - the title is ironic but the faithful are all under siege, from peer pressure to outright murder, from confiscation of property to its destruction. Yet even the Soviets are beginning to discern that their faith cannot be crushed. The evidence presented is not only surprising, it is occasionally infuriating, namely the remaining silent of the World Council of Churches and his unblushing pro-Marxist supply of guerrilla factions in Africa. The author's efforts will have been worthwhile if the reader realises that freedom of religion is not guaranteed behind the Iron Curtain despite press releases to the contrary.
