Created by the Sobibor camp\u2019s deputy commandant, Johann Niemann, this large collection of recently discovered documents and photographs shows in new and vivid detail the topography of the killing center, which was located in German-occupied Poland and in operation from April 1942 until November 1943. The collection also illuminates interactions among the camp\u2019s SS staff and between the SS and auxiliary guards, as well as the role of women, including perpetrators\u2019 wives and local female civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subject of a new book published by Indiana University Press in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, <a href=\"https:\/\/iupress.org\/9780253064318\/from-euthanasia-to-sobibor\/\">From \u201cEuthanasia\u201d to Sobibor: An SS-Officer&#8217;s Photo Collection<\/a>, the Sobibor Perpetrator Collection opens new vistas on one of the most crucial chapters of the Holocaust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scholars will present the new insights the collection affords into the workings of Sobibor and the wider networks of perpetrators that spanned the so-called Euthanasia Program, other concentration camps, and Operation Reinhard in the implementation of the Final Solution, and address the implications of the collection for research and teaching about the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This program will be held via Zoom and is free and open to the public.
