In his writings on the “Final Solution,” Raul Hilberg pondered the role of trains: “How can railways be regarded as anything more than physical equipment that was used, when the time came, to transport the Jews from various cities to shooting grounds and gas chambers in Eastern Europe?” This book explores the question by analyzing the victims’ experiences at each stage of forced relocation: the round-ups and departures from the ghettos, the captivity in trains, and finally, the arrival at the camps. Utilizing a variety of published memoirs and unpublished testimonies, the book argues that victims experienced the train journeys as mobile chambers, comparable in importance to the more studied, fixed locations of persecution, such as ghettos and camps.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 345gAuthor: Simone GigliottiGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Social Sciences, Military History, History, Society & CultureBook Series: War and GenocideRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
