About this listen
Quickly becoming a cornerstone of Holocaust historiography, this is a devastatingly stark memoir from one of the lone survivors of Treblinka.
Why do some live while so many others perish? Tiny children, old men, beautiful girls - in the gas chambers of Treblinka, all are equal. The Nazis kept the fires of Treblinka burning night and day, a central cog in the wheel of the Final Solution.
In the tradition of Elie Wiesel's Night and Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz and The Drowned and the Saved, Rajchman provides the only survivors' record of Treblinka. Originally written in Yiddish in 1945 without hope or agenda other than to bear witness, Rajchman's account shows that sometimes the bravest and most painful act of all is to remember.

Absolutely horrifying
Chil Rajchman tells his first hand account of all the gory details of how extermination was carried out and how he and some others managed to escape a death camp. The sheer volume, horror and sadism is unparalleled and this book is a very unique view at the attrocities.

Horrifying
It is difficult, if not impossible to know what to say after listening to material like this.
The words and their delivery are as grim as you would expect. It is not something to be enjoyed, instead, something to know and remember so that those lost are not forgotten. May they never be.
I hope the world will not ever repeat something as tragic as the story told in this memoir.

Gruesome
Without eye-witness accounts like this, would the world know the extent of the atrocities committed by the Nazis and their Ukrainian henchmen?

An IMPORTANT and TIMELY listen!!
So important to hear and share this story. We must work hard not to allow the voices and blood of Treblinka to go unheard.

Few words
There are few words to adequately describe what this man experienced. He struggled for over a year to survive and then relate the details of how hundreds of thousands of children women and men died in the extermination camps of Treblinka. The writing is necessarily sparse but the narrator does an admirable job of putting a voice to these desperate circumstances. I. highly recommend this book for anyone compassionate about the travails of the Jewish people during World War II

Chilling, heartbreaking, and eerily calm
The matter-of-fact presentation style of the text is flawlessly performed by the narrator. No histrionics, no rage… just a resigned numbness. It was difficult to listen to, for obvious reasons, but an important historical document, told by one who was there.
