This isn't professionally written or; I suspect; professionally translated; but it is poignant and unquestionably important. It's a quick read; even though digesting it might take some time.It is also interesting to read the article that serves as the second part of the book; it is part harrowing journalism and part Soviet propaganda; and an interesting look at the important work that was done by the Russians to document what the Nazis tried to hide.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Descent Into EvilBy Geoff PurssellThe reader of Treblinka will descend into the true story of evil on an unparalleled scale as told by one of the few survivors of one of the main extermination centres constructed by the Germans and by a soldier of the Russian Red Army. The atrocities and horrors of survival (on a whim) are bought to life in such a way as to make the reader visualise what 'living' in this hell on earth must have been like. Fortunately most readers will be bound by an imagination which cannot be matched to the reality whereby one of the authors asks the reader to imagine the last moments of men; women and children packed like sardines in a gas chamber waiting to die and where to those living dead inside Treblinka; a bullet in the head became a luxury.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. to say I "loved" a book on the death camps is painful.

This diary of a survivor is difficult to read in that I know too much of the history of that era and have read so much on the horrors suffered by the people in Europe during that time. That said; it is a book to be read to get a first-person perspective on the minutia covered by the Nazis in their quest for the final solution.
