On August 2, 1943 prisoners of the Treblinka concentration camp, armed with stolen guns and grenades, attacked their guards, set fire to the "factory of death, " and fled into the neighboring forest.

For its staggering depiction of horror and for its sheer humanity, Village of a Million Spirits should be considered, like the novels of Levi, Wiesel, Kosinski, and Borowski, essential reading in Holocaust literature.… (mer)
NOT for the faint of heart. This is a cinematic story of the 1943 Treblinka Revolt which lead to the death camp's being shut down.

Most people couldn't handle this book. It's too real. ( )
