This edition is based on the expanded and revised book “An Hour and a Half of Retribution” (2013), which caused a wide resonance. In it, Lev Simkin first told the biography of Alexander Pechersky, a Soviet officer who led the uprising in the Nazi death camp Sobibor, intended for the “final solution to the Jewish question.” The hero's story is based on documents collected by the author and memories of friends and family. However, much required clarification: over the past five years, new materials from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense have been made public, and new myths have arisen about Pechersky. The feat of the organizer of the uprising in Sobibor is now well known. In the book, the story about him is supplemented by stories based on declassified trial materials about “ordinary soldiers of the genocide” - former Soviet citizens who served as guards at the death camp. In addition, a broad context of Soviet reality was developed, in which the post-war life of Pechersky took place and the official attitude towards the feat of the Sobibor prisoners changed.
