Märksõnad:
On August 2, 1943, prisoners at the Nazi extermination camp Treblinka, located in occupied Poland, launched an uprising against their captors, during which hundreds successfully escaped while guards killed as many in the process. In this groundbreaking work, Chad S.A. Gibbs draws upon recently discovered sources and novel research methods to fundamentally reassess Jewish resistance at Treblinka—both before and during the revolt. 

Using the testimonies of revolt survivors, prior escapees, those who passed through the camp, and a handful of bystander witnesses and former SS guards, Gibbs sheds new light on the events of August 2 as well as many prior acts of resistance. Critical to these new interpretations of the revolt are the actions of women prisoners, who here assume a central place in this story for the first time.

Innovative and revelatory. A superb example of first-rate scholarship that expertly blends theory with historical evidence to expose the wider context of Jewish agency, both male and female, by those who enabled and conducted this iconic act of Jewish resistance under the most extreme circumstances. - Edward B. Westermann, Texas A&M UniversitySan Antonio

"Through his exploration of the role that masculinity played in the resistance, Gibbs is able to uncover the hitherto almost completely ignored subject of women's experiences at Treblinka. This is an extraordinary feat and one that is genuinely exciting." - Zoë Waxman, University of Oxford
