Chil Rajchman, a Polish Jew, was arrested with his younger sister
in 1942 and sent to Treblinka, a death camp where more than 750,000
were murdered before it was abandoned by German soldiers. His
sister was sent to the gas chambers, but Rajchman escaped
execution, working for ten months under incessant threats and
beatings as a barber, a clothes-sorter, a corpse-carrier, a puller
of teeth from those same bodies. In August 1943, there was an
uprising at the camp, and Rajchman was among the handful of men who
managed to escape. In 1945, he set down this account, a plain,
unembellished and exact record of the raw horror he endured every
day. This unique testimony, which has remained in the sole
possession of his family ever since, has never before been
published in English. For its description of unspeakably cruelty,
Treblinka is a memoir that will not be superseded. In addition to
Rajchman's account, this volume includes the complete text of
Vasily Grossman's 'The Hell of Treblinka', one of the first
descriptions of a Nazi extermination camp; a powerful and harrowing
piece of journalism written only weeks after the camp was
dissolved. Introduction by Samuel Moyn, Professor of History at
Columbia University and author of A Holocaust Controversy: The
Treblinka Affair in Postwar France.
