Sasha PecherskyHolocaust Hero, Sobibor Resistance Leader, and Hostage of History
Selma Leydesdorff, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Series: Memory and Narrative
Despite leading the only successful prisoner revolt at a World War II death camp, Aleksandr "Sasha" Pechersky never received the public recognition he deserved in his home country of Russia. This story of a forgotten hero reveals the tremendous difference in memorial cultures between societies in the West and societies in the former Communist world.
Offering fascinating insights into a crucial period of history, emphasising that Jews were not passive in the face of German violence and exploring the history of the Jews who fell victim to Stalinism after surviving Nazism, this is valuable reading for students and scholars of the Holocaust.
