Product Description:
Blatt's account of his childhood in Izbica provides a fascinating glimpse of Jewish life in Poland after the German invasion and during the period of mass deportations of Jews to the camps. Blatt's tale of escape, and of the five horrifying years spent eluding both the Nazis and later anti-Semitic Polish nationalists, is a firsthand account of one of the most terrifying and savage events of human history.

Rating:  - Mind blowing
I thought this book was amazing. My history teacher recommended this to me after i read 'man's search for meaning'.
It's an incredibly honest and gripping book on the life of a young man survivng sobibor and the activies around it.
It will definately make you be thankful for what you have and not to take anything for granted. A truly inspirational book.

The recollections of Blatt, a survivor of the extermination camp Sobibor, in Poland, where Jews staged a successful revolt, addresses these questions in a frank and gripping narrative. Blatt's account demonstrates how the Germans kept Jews in Poland subjugated through random terror combined with promises that the status quo ... Read More
