"This was Oswiecim" by Dr. Filip Friedman. London, 1946
This was Oswiecim, the Story of a Murder Camp Warsaw, by Dr. Filip Friedman. Translation from Yiddish: Joseph Leftwich. London: United Jewish Relief Appeal, 1945. English.
This book reveals the story of the Auschwitz Extermination Camp and includes several pictures that were taken immediately after the release of the camp, and a sketch (map) of the Treblinka Extermination Camp.
Dr. Filip Friedman (1901-1960) was a Polish Jewish historian, born in Lviv. He survived the Holocaust in hiding, but lost his wife and daughter. After the war, he was appointed head of the Central Jewish Historical Commission, a position in which he oversaw the publication of several pioneering studies about Nazi war crimes immediately after the Holocaust. This essay, concerning the Auschwitz extermination camp, is one of the earliest and most important of its kind.
84 pp, 18.5 cm. Good condition. Stains and creases to the leaves of the book and its cover.
