Treblinka Survivor: The Life and Death of Hershl Sperling

Mark S. Smith

More than 800,000 people entered Treblinka, and fewer than seventy came out. Hershl Sperling was one of them. He escaped. Why then, fifty years later, did he jump to his death from a bridge in Scotland? This book traces the life of a man who survived five concentration camps, and what he had to do to achieve this.
