To anyone who has read as many survivor's memoires of the Holocaust as I have, it is plainly obvious why this one was not as widely read as the others. Authors like Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel made bestseller lists because they have an innate literary talent that Chil Rajchman is sorely missing, which does much to make their books accessible to a global audience. That being said, a way with words or lack-there-of should not detract from this book. Rajchman is one of the few survivors of Treblinka, so we must look past his brusque delivery to see the incredible story of survival within. Rajchman's straightforward narrative actually betrays much about his experience, thus doing the book a favour, by exposing the emotionally deadening caused by the attrocities of his experience. ( )

"It is the writer's duty to tell the terrible truth, and it is a reader's civic duty to learn this truth." Vasily Grossman

“Rajchman è un sopravvissuto di Treblinka. Ha visto tutto, sentito tutto, provato tutto. Ha il coraggio di deporre per la Storia.Il suo racconto è di una densità che dà i brividi. Credo di aver letto molte opere su questo stesso soggetto. E tutte sono dolorose... (fonte: Google Books)

A shocking, horrifying portrait of the Treblinka death camp, written in starkly plain language by one of its few survivors. THE LAST JEW OF TREBLINKA was not published until 2011, several years after Rajchman had died, in Uruguay where he had emigrated and become a successful businessman. Rajchman only survived because he was one of a handful of prisoners to escape after an ill-fated revolt. Barely a hundred pages, you can read his account in a couple hours. This is not a book to "like." It is too filled with descriptions of horror, cruelty, suffering and inhumanity. Recommended only if you have a strong stomach. An important piece of Holocaust history.

This is a book by a Holocaust survivor, it's gruesome and heartbreaking details of how the prisoners were tortured, starved, beaten, killed and forced to commit all types of ungodly tasks. We will never forget. Thank you for writing the book. ( )
