Download A Promise at Sobibor: A Jewish Boy's Story of Revolt and Survival in Nazi-Occupied Poland AudioBook Free
A Offer at Sobibór is the storyplot of Fiszel Bialowitz, a teenaged Polish Jew who escaped the Nazi gas chambers. Between April 1942 and Oct 1943, about 250,000 Jews from European countries and the Soviet Union were delivered to the Nazi fatality camp at Sobibór in occupied Poland. Sobibór had not been a transit camp or work camp: Its only purpose was successful mass murder. On Oct 14, 1943, about 50 % of the 650 roughly prisoners still alive at Sobibór undertook a daring and accurately planned revolt, getting rid of SS officials and fleeing through minefields and machine-gun fire into the surrounding forests, farms, and towns. Only about 42 of them, including Fiszel, are known to have survived to the finish of the battle.Philip (Fiszel) Bialowitz, now an American resident, instructs his eyewitness storyline within the real-time point of view of his own boyhood, from his years as a child before the battle and his internment in the brutal Izbica ghetto to his harrowing six months at Sobibór - including his participation in the revolt and desperate mass avoid - and his rescue by courageous Polish farmers. He also recounts the difficulties of life following battle as a teenaged displaced person, and his eventual work as a see to the reality of the Holocaust.In 1943 the heroic leaders of the revolt at Sobibór, Sasha Perchersky and Leon Feldhendler, implored fellow prisoners to assure that anyone who survived would notify the storyplot of Sobibór: Not just of the horrific atrocities committed there, but of the courage and humanity of those who fought again. Bialowitz has kept that promise.Best Catalogs for General Viewers, selected by the American Association for Institution LibrariesBest Catalogs for High Academic institutions, selected by the American Association for Institution LibrariesBest Catalogs for Special Hobbies, selected by the Public Library Association
