Opis

A number of books have been written on the death camp of Treblinka, but this book is unique. Webb and Chocolaty present the definitive account of one of history's most infamous factories of death where approximately 800,000 people lost their lives. The Nazis who ran it, the Ukrainian guards and maids, the Jewish survivors and the Poles living in the camp's shadow -- every angle is covered in this astonishingly comprehensive work. The book attempts to provide a Roll of Remembrance with biographies of the Jews who perished in the death camp as well as of those who escaped from Treblinka in individual efforts or as part of the mass prisoner uprising on 2 August 1943. It also includes unique and previously unpublished sketches of the camp's ramp area and gas chamber, drawn by the survivors.

[...] This is [...] a highly relevant book for those wanting to better understand the Nazis unprecedented, industrialised mass-murder that formed such a horrifically integral part of the Holocaust." Matthew Feldmann
