Stark, unadorned writing. No melodramatic flourishes or sentiment. Just the truth. Powerful.

Fewer than 100 survived Treblinka. I am the last one. The will to live is stronger than anything else; I never gave up. Maybe I’m meant to be alive to tell the story. This is the last generation to hear first-hand from survivors. In 10 years, there won’t be any of us left. People should know what happened to us. — Eddie Weinstein
