520    Why do some live while so many others perish? Tiny 
       children, old men, beautiful girls; in the gas chambers of
       Treblinka, all are equal. The Nazis kept the fires of 
       Treblinka burning night and day, a central cog in the 
       wheel of the Final Solution. There was no pretense of work
       here like in Auschwitz or Birkenau, only a train platform 
       and a road covered with sand. A road that led only to 
       death. But not for the author, a young man who survived 
       working as a "barber" and "dentist," heartsick with 
       witnessing atrocity after atrocity. Yet he managed to 
       survive so that somehow he could tell the world what he 
       had seen. How he found the dress of his little sister 
       abandoned in the woods. How he was forced to extract gold 
       teeth from the corpses. How every night he had to cover 
       the body pits with sand. How every morning the blood of 
       thousands still rose to the surface.  Many have 
       courageously told their stories, and in the tradition of 
       Elie Wiesel's Night and Primo Levi's Survival at Auschwitz
       and The Drowned and the Saved, the author provides the 
       only survivors' record of Treblinka. Originally written in
       Yiddish in 1945 without hope or agenda other than to bear 
       witness, this tale shows that sometimes the bravest and 
       most painful act of all is to remember.
