Customer Reviews

Psychotic, results of an overly meticulous system.

I was required to read Treblinka by Proffesor Schonfeld at the University of California at Irvine. I have read a lot of literature on the Holocaust and yet am always amazed by it. This book takes it a step farther in understanding the meticuous perfection the Germans sought in exterminating a whole race of people. It is a book of triamph, but also shows in great detail how the German intentions could never be fulfilled because of a driving natural force within all of mankind to continue living. Not to live as individuals, but to fight in order to continue a whole lineage of people. It is beautifuly written and extremelly enlightening. I Thank Professor Schonfeld for requiring it, and you will thank me for reccomending it. Tricia Taft
