RT Book T1 Spaces of Treblinka: retracing a death camp A1 Flaws, Jacob LA English PP Lincoln PB University of Nebraska Press YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1893041816 AB Using an innovative approach that puts Jewish, German, and Polish voices together to map the impacts of the Treblinka death camp near and far, Spaces of Treblinka reconceptualizes the relationship between sites of mass atrocity and the spaces surrounding them AB "Spaces of Treblinka utilizes testimonies, oral histories, and recollections from Jewish, German, and Polish witnesses to create a holistic representation of the Treblinka death camp during its operation. This narrative rejects the historical misconception that Treblinka was an isolated Nazi extermination camp with few witnesses and fewer survivors. Rather than the secret, sanitized site of industrial killing Treblinka was intended to be, Jacob Flaws argues, Treblinka's mass murder was well-known to the nearby townspeople who experienced the sights, sounds, smells, people, bodies, and train cars the camp ejected into the surrounding world. Through spatial reality, Flaws portrays the conceptions, fantasies, ideological assumptions, and memories of Treblinka from witnesses in the camp and surrounding towns. To do so he identifies six key spaces that once composed the historical site of Treblinka: the ideological space, the behavioral space, the space of life and death, the interactional space, the sensory space, and the extended space. By examining these spaces Flaws reveals that there were more witnesses to Treblinka than previously realized, as the transnational groups near and within the camps overlapped and interacted. Spaces of Treblinka provides a staggering and profound reassessment of the relationship between knowing and not knowing and asks us to confront the timely warning that we, in our modern, interconnected world, can all become witnesses."-- NO Includes bibliographical references and index NO Zielgruppe: 5PGJ, Bezug zu Juden und jüdischen Gruppen CN D805.5.T74 SN 9781496239730 K1 Treblinka (Concentration camp) K1 Periode des Zweiten Weltkrieges (ca. 1938 bis ca. 1946) K1 c 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) K1 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) : Poland K1 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) : Psychological aspects K1 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) : Personal narratives K1 Holocaust survivors K1 20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 K1 HIS027370 K1 HISTORY / Holocaust K1 History / Jewish K1 Holocaust K1 Social & Cultural History K1 Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte K1 The Holocaust K1 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust K1 HISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War II / European Theater K1 Poland K1 Woiwodschaft Masowien K1 Vernichtungslager Treblinka
