An accessible single-volume edition of the previous two-volume work contains more than half of the photography from the original format as well as new images; in a work that celebrates vanishing cultural rituals and features an audio CD of African ceremonies.

A slim volume; and a real page turner.16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Direct and PowerfulBy Tracy Cramer Austin; TexasRichard Glazar was one of the few people to have survived the Treblinka death camp. He was around 23 years old at the time. In his account of the 10 months or so that he was there; he does not dwell on things he did not have direct experience of; but describes what life was like for him and the people around him. He does not attempt to explain or analyze or give the big picture. This; for me; is what makes his story so powerful. Moreover; he does not overwhelm the reader with gruesome details; but at the same time manages to give the reader a strong understanding of the total inhumanity of the camp and its operations; and the casual and systematic brutality of the guards. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in a first hand account of this terrible time in world history. (For a very readable history of the Third Reich; I recommend Richard Evans' trilogy on the subject; beginning with "The Coming of the Third Reich".)13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Trap with a Green Fence: Survival in TreblinkaBy Nancy J. SevertsonGlazar's account of survival in Treblinka is one of the three best accounts of death camp survival I have read. The others were written by Filip Muller and Rudolph Vrba about Auschwitz. Glazar's account is detailed and insightful...a can't put it down book.
