Scrolls from the Ashes

The book is dedicated to the members of “Sonderkommando” – working units made up of Jews who were forced to assist the Nazis with the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people. The Nazis probably could not have imagined these Jews would survive, nevertheless around a hundred of them did, and several dozen wrote about their experiences or gave detailed interviews. Many of the victims left written testimonies, some of which were found after the end of the war. These scrolls are the key documents of the Holocaust; however in Russia, they were little-known. For the first time they are collected in this book.
