The Last Jew of Treblinka by Chil Rajchman

3.0

“It is the writers duty to tell the terrible truth and it is a readers civic duty to learn this truth. To turn away, to close one's eyes and walk past, is to insult the memory of those who have perished.”

Words pulled from the prologue of the book - I couldn’t catch the name responsible.. but its an unfortunate truth and a timeless lesson.

This was a fairly short memoir covering the years 1942-1943. It doesn’t get anywhere near the level of emotional turmoil that Anne Frank’s Diary puts you through, but it’s still history and an account during arguably the most horrible time in the 20th century.
