From Library Journal:

Very few prisoners survived the killing camp Treblinka, and those few who did had no words for the netherworld they saw there. Five years ago, on a sunny April day in Jerusalem, Willenberg, survivor of Treblinka and Israeli citizen, was stopped in his tracks by the sirens that proclaimed the start of Holocaust Day 1984. Immobilized on a crowded road, he was transported by the sirens back in time and place and images and pain long buried were brought back. By the time the wailing stopped Willenberg had decided to write his memoirs. The result is this well-written and deftly translated account enriched by Bartoszewski's informed introduction and a 28-page commentary on the war in Poland, the concentration camps in general, and Treblinka in particular. An important book.
