Leon Weliczker Wells (born March 10, 1925 in Stojaniw near Radziechów, then Poland, died December 19, 2009) was an American engineer. Between 1942 and 1944, he was imprisoned in the Lemberg- Janowska Forced Labor Camp. He had to burn the bodies of Nazi victims. After the liberation of Lemberg by the Red Army in April 1944 Weliczker worked in the materials business of the Ukrainian Railway Administration in Lviv and undertook procurement trips to Kiev and Moscow. With the Soviet historian Vladimir Pavlovich Belyayev, he discussed a contribution to a publication on the massacre of the Polish university professors in Lvov, whose bodies were also burned by the Sonderkommando. Wells claims that the 38 people were identified before their bodies were burned, and named some of them: Kazimierz Bartel, Tadeusz Ostrowski, W odzimierz Sto ek and Tadeusz Boy- ele ski. The Janowska Road, by Leon Weliczker Wells remains one of the most important accounts of Jewish life during the Holocaust. The book is the harrowing account of Wells' experiences from his sixteenth to his twentieth year in Lvov, Poland, from 1941-1945. Most of that time was spent as a prisoner in the Janowska concentration camp. Wells would later testify that he was the only member of his family, including his parents, six siblings, cousins and uncles, numbering 76 in all, to survive the Holocaust. He survived by becoming part of the "Death Brigade" at Janowska, whose job it was to obliterate, with bonfires and bone-crushers, the evidence of the Third Reich's guilt: thousands upon thousands of human corpses. Following the war, Wells emigrated to the United States., The Macmillan Company, 1963, 2.5, Poole, Dorset, England: Blandford Press, 1985. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good.

Index. Janusz Pieka kiewicz (1925 in Warsaw - March 9, 1988) was a Polish underground soldier, historian, writer, as well as a television and cinema director and producer. The author fought with the Polish underground during World War 2. At age seventeen, Janusz joined the Armia Krajowa (the Home Army), later participated in the Warsaw Uprising, and spent the remainder of the war in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He fought with the Hungarian freedom fighters in 1956. He was a world-renowned author on many aspects of World War II history; over 30 of his books have been printed, most of them in German, and later translated to other languages. He also wrote from his experiences during the war and specialized in detailing operations within the secret services. A unique characteristic of many of his books is that chapters contain two parts. Firstly, he describes details and contemporary quoted sources and then, in the second part, he provides analysis and his own commentaries to those events. According to critics, this results in a very objective presentation of the material. This important work offers a day-by-day chronology of aerial operations during World War II, and looks at the pilots, leaders, strategies, aircraft, and weapons of the war. Its text is mainly documentary accounts from sources as diverse as the Allied and Axis high commands, press reports from neutral countries, official reports and propaganda documents: these give both the immediacy of contemporary reporting and a broad spectrum of fact and opinion. Every warfront is covered, not only the well-known ones but also such minor theaters as Somaliland and Madagascar. There are over 400 photographs, many of them previously unpublished, and numerous line drawings and maps. For the first time there appears in one volume an appendix of the structure and organization of the air forces of all 30 combatant nations, plus a chronological list of all major air attacks on Germany., Blandford Press, 1985, 3, 1st Edition .

Wikipedia: Stutthof was a Nazi German concentration camp established in a secluded, wet, and wooded area near the small town of Sztutowo (German: Stutthof) 34 km east of the city of Danzig. The camp was set up around existing structures after the invasion of Poland in World War II, used for the imprisonment of Polish seditionists.The actual barracks were built the following year by hundreds of prisoners. Stutthof was the first concentration camp set up outside German borders in World War II, in operation from 2 September 1939. It was also the last camp liberated by the Allies on 9 May 1945. It is estimated that between 63,000 and 65,000 prisoners of Stutthof concentration camp died as a result of murder, epidemics, extreme labour conditions, evacuations, and lack of medical help. Some 28,000 of them were Jews. In total, as many as 110,000 people were deported there in the course of the camp's existence., 2.5, State University of New York Press. Used - Good.
