After briefly surveying the state of existing research on Stutthof at the outset of their study, Graf and Mattogno clearly define their main purposes: to investigate the alleged gassings; to attempt to determine how many died from all causes at the camp; and to examine the import of deportations of Jews to Stutthof in 1944.
In very broad lines, Stutthof first housed Polish political prisoners, later received a large influx of Soviet prisoners of war; finally, though not to the prejudice of its security role, the chief purpose of Stutthof became the employment of its prisoners, including a growing number of Jews, on work crucial to the war economy.
Stutthof, as the authors show, were Hungarians shipped either directly from Auschwitz or from Auschwitz by way of another camp from June to October, 1944, at a time when the alleged annihilation of the Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz was in full swing.
