The impetus for the creation of this book was a photograph taken after the war on the territory of the Treblinka death camp, where local residents were searching for jewelry allegedly left behind by the Jews killed in the gas chambers. It is on the periphery of the Holocaust that hyenas in human form are visible. “The Golden Harvest” is not only a description of this nightmare, but also an attempt to understand its causes. It poses serious moral and historical problems. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
