Treblinka

by Jean-Francois Steiner (Author), Simone De Beauvoir (Preface), Terrence Des Pres (Introduction)

The inspiring true story of the 600 Jews who revolted against their captors and burned a Nazi death camp to the ground.

Nearly a million Jews were consumed by the ovens of Treblinka before August 2, 1943. On that day 600 prisoners armed with stolen guns and grenades attacked the Nazi guards, burned the camp, and fled into the nearby Polish forests. Of these, forty survived to bear witness to man’s courage in the face of the greatest evil human history has produced.
