Abraham Bomba, the barber of Treblinka

The 'barbershop' was the gas chamber itself, a 12'x12' room in which the Nazis packed 16 Jewish barbers and 140 naked Jewish women. After Bomba and his crew gave the women very nice haircuts, including their wives and sisters, they left the room for 5 minutes, and the women were gassed.

This is a clip from the 'documentary' movie Shoah - "Released in Paris in April 1985, Shoah won critical acclaim and several prominent awards, including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Non-Fiction Film and the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary. Simone de Beauvoir hailed it as a "sheer masterpiece", while documentary maker Marcel Ophüls called it "the greatest documentary about contemporary history ever made"."

Bomba is currently featured on the USHMM web site,
