Samuel Willenberg, the last survivor of Treblinka, was buried today. He was 93. More than 850,000 Jews were murdered at Treblinka by the Nazis, while Samuel was one of only 67 Jewish survivors of the camp.

In August of 1943, Willenberg joined a group of Jews who stole weapons, set fire to the camp and tried to escape. Most of them were killed. Willenberg was shot in the leg but managed to clamber over a pile of bodies, climb over a fence and make his way into the woods. He later joined the Polish resistance and took part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.

May his memory be for a blessing
