<DIV><B>From one of the lone survivors of the Treblinka</B><B> concentration camp </B><B>comes a devastating memoir of the Holocaust in the tradition of </B><B>Primo Levi&rsquo;s <I>Survival in Auschwitz</I></B><B>.</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Why did some live while so many others perished? Tiny children, old men, beautiful girls&mdash;in the gas chambers of Treblinka, all were equal. A central cog in the wheel of Adolf Hitler&rsquo;s Final Solution, the fires of Treblinka were kept burning night and day.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Chil Rajchman was twenty-eight when he arrived at Treblinka in 1942. At the extermination camp, he was forced to work as a &ldquo;barber,&rdquo; shaving the heads of victims, and a &ldquo;dentist,&rdquo; pulling gold teeth from corpses. But he escaped eleven months later and survived to tell the shocking and heartbreaking tale of his experience&mdash;and of those who didn&rsquo;t make it out alive.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Elie Wiesel calls <I>The Last Jew of Treblinka</I> &ldquo;an important, heart-rending contribution to our search for truth.&rdquo; Poignant and powerful, this memoir provides the only survivors&rsquo; record of the horrifying Polish extermination camp. Originally written in Yiddish in 1945, without hope or agenda other than to bear witness, Rajchman&rsquo;s story shows that remembering is sometimes the bravest and most painful act of all.&#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV>
