Block 11 held the execution chambers at Auschwitz. Among the million-plus people murdered there was a Polish priest named Maximilian Kolbe. Canonized in 1985, St. Max was a writer and publisher who used the technology of his time to advocate for justice and compassion for all. He died a painful death after voluntarily taking the place of another man.

Concentration camps and execution blocks do not appear without warning. They are built in the beginning by well-meaning, offended people 'protecting the children' with book bans and censorship.

Block 11 Books are works in the public domain that have been on a forbidden list because once upon a time something about the content pissed somebody off. All the books in the B11B series are available free for download as ebooks at Gutenberg Press. The purpose of this series of print editions is to offer them in a convenient, low cost format.

Some of us just prefer paper. Once you buy it, you own it. No rent is due. Print books have a habit of surviving long periods without electricity.
