So Farben built , its own, private-sector concentration camp. IG Farben purchased 25,000 slaves from the Reich, among them as many children as possible (the Reich charged less for child slaves).

I'd never heard of Monowitz, but Tkacik's description of the camp is chilling, even in comparison to Auschwitz itself.
