A landmark work in the psychology of survival and atrocity, Human Behavior in the Concentration Camp presents a rigorous and unflinching psychological analysis of life and death within the Nazi concentration camp system. Drawing on his own harrowing experience as a prisoner and his training as a physician and psychiatrist, Dr. Elie A. Cohen chronicles the systematic dehumanisation inflicted upon prisoners and details the psychological mechanisms they developed to survive. The work argues that understanding the behaviour of both victims and perpetrators is essential to comprehending one of history's darkest chapters, illuminating concepts such as regression, identification with the aggressor, and the collapse of moral norms under extreme duress. Academic in rigour yet deeply human in its testimony, this seminal study remains an indispensable text for students of psychology, history, and the Holocaust.
