Nahezu emotionslos und darum mit um so eindrücklicherer Sachlichkeit dokumentiert Hermann Langbein mit den Aussagen von Opfern und Tätern den Alltag in Auschwitz. Bei seinen Protokollen hat er sich von dem Grundsatz leiten lassen, daß die Wahrheit über den Massenmord im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert genauso den Verzicht auf die Dämonisierung der Mörder wie auf die Apotheose der Opfer verlange. »Die Anklage gilt der unmenschlichen Situation, die das nationalsozialistische System bewirkt.«
