Description

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.

“Treblinka is a tale, not of defeat, but of triumph; not of extermination, but of vindication and transcendence...an answer to the Sabras’ unbearable, ferocious, and unforgiving question to their elders: how could it have happened? How could the Jews of Europe have gone to their slaughter like six million lambs?”—New York Book Review

About the Author

Jean-François Steiner est né le 17 février 1938 dans la région parisienne. Son père, israélite, est mort en déportation. Sa mère, catholique soucieuse de donner à ses enfants l'éducation que leur aurait souhaitée leur père, s'est remariée avec un médecin israélite. Après des études classiques au lycée Louis-le-Grand, Jean-François Steiner passe un an et demi en Israël. Il a alors dix-sept ans, découvre la vie en kibboutz et prend conscience d'un monde qui lui inspire un intérêt passionné, première étape des recherches qui aboutiront à la rédac-ion de Treblinka. Revenu en France, il suit les cours de propédeutique à la Sorbonne.En 1959, il part pour l'Algérie dans un régiment de parachutistes (le Xllle Dragon - régiment opérationnel de réserve générale). Son service militaire terminé, deux ans plus tard, il coupe des dépêches à Combat, écrit un texte qui sera publié par Les Temps modernes en février 1962 sous le titre "Fabrication d'un parachutiste". Il collabore à Réalités, L'Express (reportages en Algérie), Le Nouveau Candide.Source:http://www.babelio.com/auteur/Jean-Fr...His father was the writer Kadmi Cohen who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and deported to Gleiwitz, one of many subcamps of Auschwitz, where he died in June 1944.
