Baxter, Ian
(Book #ID 111730)
Published by Spellmount Ltd., The Mill, Stroud, Gloucestershire Probably First Edition 2010. 2010.
First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black paper covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. The story of the SS of Treblinka is a highly compelling one. This book provides vivid descriptions of events in the camp from the point of view of the men that witnessed them. Using interviews, personal letters, and unpublished diaries, some supplied by historian Marcin Zborska in Warsaw and published for the first time, Ian Baxter gives a fascinating insight into the camp that saw the murder of some 800,000 Jews. The book paints a chilling picture of the staff at Treblinka, showing the SS-men during breaks from their murderous activities, relaxing in their barracks, or visiting the camp zoo with their families. Diary extracts will allow a reader inside the heads of these men who, in some cases felt themselves fortunate to be posted at Treblinka. The inner working of the camp are exposed here in unprecedented detail, from the techniques of mass murder to the bizarre rituals that developed within the camp.
