Escape from Sobibor The Heroic story of revolt and escape from a Nazi Death Camp - Richard Rashke - Sphere Books - 1984 - 433pp, black and white photographs - Paperback: one small spot on cover rest of book is clean bd tightly bound.
Poignant in its honesty and grim in its details, Escape from Sobibor offers stunning proof of resistance--in this case successful--by victims of the Holocaust. The smallest of the extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany during World War II, Sobibor was where now-retired auto worker John Demjanjuk has been accused of working as a prison guard. Sobibor also was the scene of the war's biggest prisoner escape.
Richard Rashke's interviews with eighteen of those who survived provide the foundation for this volume. He also draws on books, articles, and diaries to make vivid the camp, the uprising, and the escape. In the afterword, Rashke relates how the Polish government in October 1993, observed the fiftieth anniversary of the escape and how it has beautified the site since a film based on his book appeared on Polish television.
"Brilliantly reconstructs the degradation and drama of Sobibor. . . . A memorable and moving saga, full of anger and anguish, a reminder never to forget."--Jordan E. Cohn, San Francisco Chronicle
"A sensitive, thoughtful, and well-researched account of the 'biggest prisoner escape of World War II.'"--Samuel Gold, Jewish Chicago
