The Final Station records Jaroslaw Rymkiewicz's obsession, as a Christian Pole, with the extermination of the Jews during World War II before the eyes of the Poles and, often, with their collaboration. Rymkiewicz places the Umschlagplatz - the area of the Warsaw ghetto where Jews were gathered for deportation as part of the final solution - at the center of his narrative, because "it happened right here, in the midst of our lives." Juxtaposing the past and the present, the personal and the historical, The Final Station includes a reconstruction of the minutest details of genocide (very much like Claude Lanzmann's Shoah) and a fictional account of an I. B. Singer-like summer at a resort near Warsaw where a group of Jewish and Christian friends meet shortly before the war for a last season of tennis, debating, and romance. In this relentlessly probing narrative, Rymkiewicz examines for the first time in all its complexity the Poles' relationship to the Holocaust.

Good in good dust jacket. Ex-library. Usual library markings. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. [6], 327, [3] p. Map. From Wikipedia: "The Umschlagplatz was the square in Warsaw where Jews were gathered for deportation from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka death camp as part of Operation Reinhard. A monument was erected in 1988 on Stawki Street, where the Umschlagplatz was located, to commemorate the deportation victims. Jews were deported in crowded freight cars to Treblinka. An estimated 300, 000 Jews were taken to the Treblinka gas chambers. The mass deportation action ended on 21 September 1942, although trains to Treblinka continued to depart until the end of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. The Umschlagplatz was created by fencing off a western part of the Warszawa Gda ska freight train station that was adjacent to the ghetto. The area was surrounded by a wooden fence, later replaced by a concrete wall. Railway buildings and installations on the site, as well as a former homeless shelter and a hospital were converted into a prisoner selection facility."
