A Holocaust testament of heart-rending immediacy. A survivor of industrialized genocide describes the housekeeping details and the management of business in a Nazi death camp. There were, of course, many concentration camps that worked prisoners to death in Poland and elsewhere. Treblinka, where Rajchman who died in survived for more than a year, was a little different. It was established only to kill Jews and other undesirables. Pitchforks supplemented earth-moving equipment to transfer disintegrating corpses. It was grueling, noxious employment. On busy days, the camp could eliminate as many as 10, with efficiency. Methods were regularly The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 and systems upgraded, all under the sportive supervision of some SS men and about Ukrainian henchmen. In Treblinka, life and death merged; illness was not The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 there were many suicides. Still, Rajchman had the supernatural will to survive and to bear witness. Doyle offers another lucid, inspiring chronicle of female empowerment and the rewards of self-awareness and renewal. More life reflections from the bestselling author on themes of societal captivity and the catharsis of personal freedom. In her third book, Doyle Love Warrior, etc. Some stories merely skim the surface of larger issues, but Doyle revisits them in later sections and digs deeper, using friends and familial references to personify their impact on her life, both past and present. An engrossing memoir as well as a lively treatise on what extraordinary grace under extraordinary pressure looks like. The former first lady opens up about her early life, her journey to the White House, and the The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 history-making years that followed. As the author amply shows, her can-do attitude was daunted at times by racism, leaving her wondering if she was good enough. With her characteristic candor and dry wit, she recounts the story of her fateful meeting with her future husband. Throw a presidential campaign into the mix, and even the most assured woman could begin to crack under the pressure. Through it all, Obama remained determined to serve with grace and help others through initiatives like the White House garden and her campaign to fight childhood obesity. Already have an account?

The survivors were tormented by unimaginably painful memories of what went on there. Reading these written testimonies is equally devastating. Rajchman knew that. There is little emotion to be found is this disturbing book. His vivid and detailed account of the cruelty and sadism in the camp is horrifying. The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 was a reason after all, why the Nazis were so eager to leave no visible trace of such a hell on earth. Everybody had assumed that because the history books said it was destroyed, it was. Holocaust deniers have used the lack of physical evidence to suggest there was no genocide at Treblinka. But those claims were thwarted when British archaeologists began assessing Treblinka as an archaeological site in View all 35 comments. It was while reading The Roadan anthology of the shorter writings, fiction and non-fiction, of , the author of Life and Fate and Everything Flows. To be more exact it was in the appendices, the piece entitled Grossman and Treblinka. Grossman, a Soviet Army war correspondent, was the first to gather material on the operation of Treblinka, an extermination facility close to Warsaw. The Nazis had done their best to cover the traces, destroying it completely in But by sifting through the evidence, including some personal testimony of those who lived near the camp, he was The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 to reconstruct it in The Hell of Treblinkaone of the earliest accounts of the death camp ever written, used by the prosecution in the trial of the main Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg. People are generally more familiar with Auschwitz than Treblinka and the other Operation Reinhard death camps, so called after Reinhard Heydrich, one of the principle architects of the Holocaust. Auschwitz was its own particular hell and more people died there than at Treblinka or any other single facility, but the paradox is that there was a greater chance of survival if one was sent there. For Auschwitz was a major centre for slave labour as well as extermination. Treblinka was pure death. Healthy or unhealthy, male or female, young or old, most people went straight to The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 gas. The few who escaped immediate extermination were set aside to serve as the adjutants of destruction. All the while they themselves were subject to the most gratuitous and sadistic treatment at the hands of the German and Ukrainian guards; all the while they could be visited by death on a whim and in an instant. In the end very few survived. One such was Chil Rajchman. Rajchman escaped from Treblinka in August during a general camp uprising. In the ten months he had spent there he was employed in various tasks — shaving the heads of women about to be consigned to the gas chambers, sorting clothes, removing gold teeth and dentures from corpses, digging up the decaying bodies of the dead after the Nazis decided on cremation. These tasks were performed under constant lashings, exhortations to work faster, faster and faster. Rajchman set his account of this life in death down in Yiddish in Thereafter he kept it by his side, deciding not to publish during his lifetime. He died in Not a word is out of place. The style is stark and direct. To have seen this and not gone mad is astonishing; to have survived and not gone mad is astonishing; to have lived a normal The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 and not gone mad is astonishing. At just over a hundred pages The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 read it this afternoon in a single sitting, in just over an hour. I could not stop. This is not a book to be enjoyed, but it is a book to be read. In a The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942- 1943 I think it was probably, for him, a kind of catharsis, too personal to be published on his lifetime, a way of coping and forgetting, a personal memory that could only be revealed after death when no further probing was possible. The very control he shows in his style, his economy of words, his total lack of embellishment, may very well have been the minimum that was possible to say. This is the top of the iceberg of horror, with so much unsaid, so much that is impossible to say, below. The edition I have is the paperback version, published this year by Maclehose Press, translated by Solon Beinfeld and The Last Jew of Treblinka: A Survivors Memory 1942-1943 by Samuel Moyn. I do have a criticism. But when it comes to the horrors inflicted by the Nazis I feel that the most pedantic forms of exactness are necessary, tight enough to prevent the deniers getting through the cracks. Moyn, I regret to say, is not the complete master of his brief. That may be true, to an extent, of Belsen, but it is most certainly not true of places like Dachau and, above all, Mauthausen. No matter. It takes nothing away from a testimony that will both break your heart and leave you numb. There are things almost beyond the imagination. I am so sorry that Rajchman had to live through this horror. View all 7 comments. Treblinka is less infamous compared to Auschwitz. The main difference between the two is that Auschwitz was a work as well as an extermination camp but on the other hand, Treblinka was solely an extermination camp. Nobody that arrived at Treblinka survived more than a few hours, as they were gassed immediately. So, after the war, there were very few eyewitnesses who could recount the horrors of Treblinka. Only Jews that wer Treblinka is less infamous compared to Auschwitz.
