For the history of the Auschwitz Buna factory, see Morris, Acetylene Chemistry and Synthetic Rubber, pp. 330-345 Peter Hayes, Industry and Ideology, pp. 347-368 the excellent thesis by Joseph Robert White, The Politics of Labor Utilization l.G. Farben, the SS and Auschwitz, Georgia State University MA thesis, 1989, and the less original work of Robert Simon Yavner, LG. Farben s Petro-Chemical Plant and Concentration Camp at Auschwitz, Old Dominion University MA thesis, 1984. Unfortunately, Deborah Dwork and Robert Jan van Pelt did not consult this literature (except for Hayes) for the chapter on l.G. Farben in their Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present (New York W. W. Norton, 1996). For a personal account, see Primo Levi, If this Man is a Man , a translation of Se questo e un uomo by Stuart Woolf (New York. Orion, 1959), also published as Survival in Auschwitz.
