Summary: Star Witness in Claude Lanzmann's epic film, Shoah
Comment: None of the previous reviewers seem to know that Richard Glazar, a young Czech, is one of the most effective eyewitnesses in Claude Lanzmann's epic masterpiece, 'Shoah.' He appears at numerous points during the parts of the film that deal with Treblinka. What comes across is his vitality, integrity, and self-awareness. He was one of the few to survive the Treblinka revolt in August 1943 in which several hundred prisoners finally managed to break out, although most did not finally survive. Glazar appears too in interviews with Gitta Sereny, 'Into that Darkness,' in her study of Franz Stangl, the commandant of Treblinka. Glazar's work is utterly authentic and a MUST READ.
Rating: 3
Summary: Holocaust Deniers Beware!
Comment: Richard Galzar, a Jew from Prague, survived for 10 months as a clothes-sorter in Trebinka, until his escape in the breakout of August 1943. While not a professional writer, his clear, strongly written account is an excellent source for true students of Holocaust history. The above reviewer either has not read the book or clearly seeks to defame this author, as is typical with Holocaust Deniers.
Rating: 3
Summary: More fictional than historical
Comment: Mr Glazer has written an interesting manuscript of his war years experience however the astute reader will question many of the allegations he makes. His account of his incarceration in the Treblinka "Concentration Camp" contradicts most other survivor testimony regarding that camp (eg Yitzak Arad, Martin Gray) and recent aerial photographic evidence questions whether it existed at all.
His style is rather simplistic for such a serious topic and he never goes into much detail over any one topic. Liberal use of perjoratives and stereotypes also contributes to the novelish aura one gets. This book, while a worthwile read, unfortunately further blurs the boundary between fact and fiction regarding the period of history.
