There,in the summer of 1943, a small group ofJewish prisoners planned and led an armedrebellion, killing the S.S. guards and destroying the compound where- during a single year800,000 men, women and children had beenexterminated.For the technicians of the Einal Solutionthe revolt was an inexplicable defeat. Theymethodically set out to erase its memory�plowing under the rubble and ashes of thecamp, its victims and its slain garrison. It wasnot until twenty years later that Jean-Fran�oisSteiner, following a trail of rumors andmeager references, tracked down the scattered survivors of the uprising and was ableto record theft story. With the publication ofhis book, the truth�and the meaning�ofTreblinka are reinstated in history.
