''Commemorating Hell is a fascinating and unique combination of social history and cultural analysis that uses the social memory of Mittelbau-Dora to analyze the personal and social processes of coming to grips with horrific past acts. It is among the best books examining the dark history of the Dora camp.'' David Price, author of Anthropological Intelligence: The Deployment and Neglect of American Anthropology in the Second World War
