réf. A9780299356002Hardback. New. On August 2 1943 prisoners at the Nazi extermination camp Treblinka located in occupied Poland launched an uprising against their captors during which hundreds successfully escaped while guards killed as many in the process. In this groundbreaking work Chad S.A. Gibbs draws upon recently discovered sources and novel research methods to fundamentally reassess Jewish resistance at Treblinka—both before and during the revolt. Using the testimonies of revolt survivors prior escapees those who passed through the camp and a handful of bystander witnesses and former SS guards Gibbs sheds new light on the events of August 2 as well as many prior acts of resistance. Critical to these new interpretations of the revolt are the actions of women prisoners who here assume a central place in this story for the first time. hardcover
