Architecture of Oppression

The SS, Forced Labor and the Nazi Monumental Building Economy

«

'Paul Jaskot's book is a welcome injection of life into what had become a stale debate.' - Building Design, April 20, 2000

'It does cast a significant new light on attempts to strip Nazi architecture of its political and moral associations.' - Building Design, April 20, 2000

'Jaskot's attention to actions rather than motives, and to quarries rather than aesthetics, gives precision and weight to his argument about the importance placed upon monumental architecture in Nazi Germany,' - Harvard Design Magazine

'This book is the result of painstaking research ... Jaskot has put another nail in the coffin of Leon Krier's extraordinary attempt to exonerate the Nazi monuments by removing them from their political context.' - The Architectural Review

'The Architecture of Oppression could become a prime reference for the issues of art, architecture, and urban design, and the role of politics in general and the Nazis in particular.' - Town Planning Review

'An invaluable understanding of the politics of architecture, one that complements and enhances those investigations to Nazi architecture's expression, ideological function with which we are already familiar.' - Oxford Art Journal

'An important contribution shedding light upon the manifold interrelations between politics, architecture and the economy of the camp system.' - Planning Perspectives, 17 February 2002
