A review by nikkijayne14
The Last Jew of Treblinka by Chil Rajchman
5.0
Absolutely harrowing. I often bemoan the fact that I can't find a horror novel that scares me, and that's because there is nothing scarier than the real world and memoirs like this.
Written with little-to-no emotion, Rajchman writes things as he saw them. This creates the feeling that you, too, are amongst the workers. You, too, are seeing the blood and the corpses and the ash. You're alongside him cutting hair, hauling bodies around, and extracting teeth.
Although incredibly difficult to read, I feel that books like this should be mandatory reading. Lest we forget.
