This novel is a personal account of confronting horror. Individual experiences in this story reflect the degradation of an entire society, previously among civilization’s most advanced.Implicit in the story, then, is the question: What brought about the collapse of values and decency within Germany?The reader is taken along on a bumpy ride. It does not seem possible that the next horror story of Nazi brutality could be worse than the preceding brutish killing. Indeed, all the experiences of residents in the cities, towns and villages of the conquered Nazi territories are taken from accounts of those who survived, viewed, or had first person accounts of the atrocities.The world will never know the extent of our loss. How many composers, scientists, leaders, and inventors were lost to the crematoriums? Our tragedy is ongoing and unending.'Traitors in Treblinka' is meant as a snapshot of history in a readable form for contemporary individuals to get some feeling for the horror, deprivation, and revulsion of Nazi acts during the Holocaust.
