Talk:Richard Glazar

Survivor syndrome
By definition, the survivor guilt syndrome is a characteristic group of symptoms occurring in survivors of natural disasters, combat, and epidemics. It is hardly adequate in the context of death camp Sonderkommando survivors because they did far more in their daily experience than they were willing to admit in their postwar memoirs. The actual broader picture emerges only through comparison with accounts originating from all historical sources, including German.  Poeticbent  talk 21:50, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Source queries

 * That Glazar first published his work years after Shoah (first paragraph of the Treblinka section) was sourced to Rethinking Poles and Jews: Troubled Past, Brighter Future, p. 36. I'm not sure what the relevance is of that point, but there's no mention of Glazar on that page, or in the book that I can see.


 * Also this (last two sentences of the Treblinka section):


 * "Glazar and Unger spent several months working at the camp, fully aware that they were aiding and abetting the cause that killed thousands of their own people every month. In the end, they were the only known two Czech Jews who were not murdered immediately upon their arrival to Treblinka, out of some 18,000 victims of gassing".


 * It was sourced to deathcamps.org, but I can't see it on that page.
