But the death of Willen- berg, who was buried Mon- day, also symbolizes a loom- ing transition in the field of Holocaust commemoration, as historians and educators prepare for a world without survivors and the challenge of maintaining the memory of the Nazi genocide with- out the aid of those who witnessed it. Willenberg, one of just 67 men known to have sur- vived Treblinka after a re- volt, devoted his final years to preserving the memory of more than 875,000 peo- ple systematically mur- dered in a one-year killing spree there at the height of World War II. He was a frequent pub- lic speaker, wrote a book that was translated into eight languages and led dozens of youth missions to the remnants of the destroyed camp in Po- land. Later in life, he took to sculpting to describe his experiences, and his bronze statues reflected what he saw — Jews stand- ing on a train platform, a father removing his son's shoes before entering the gas chambers, a young girl having her head shaved, and prisoners removing bodies. "It was his life's mission. He saw himself as the echo of the murdered, as their loudspeaker. He lived it daily and in many ways he never left Treblinka," said Gideon Greif, chief histo- rian of the Shem Olam insti- tute, who knew Willenberg well. "He was committed to making sure that the voices of the victims were not for- gotten ... and now that per- sonal element is gone." Hundreds paid homage at Willenberg's funeral in central Israel, including dignitaries from Israel and abroad who recognized the watershed moment of his passing. In his eulogy, Is- raeli President Reuven Riv- lin called him a "symbol for an entire generation of he- roic Holocaust survivors." More than 70 years af- ter the war, the window is rapidly closing on the sur- vivors' ability to relay their stories. Some 180,000 el- derly survivors remain in Is- rael, with a similar number worldwide, but more than a 1,000 die each month, and experts predict that within seven years none will be well enough to share any- thing of significance. That prospect has be- come the central challenge of Holocaust institutes around the world. An "oral history" of testimonies has been collected and filmed, original items have been re- stored and exhibited, and descendants are receiving training on how to carry on their parents' stories. "There is a huge added value to hearing survivor testimony first hand," said Naama Egozi, a trainer of teachers at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial's In- ternational School of Ho- locaust Studies. "You can read a book or watch a movie, but there is just no substitute to someone who can say 'I was there.'" Willenberg was among the most powerful of these witnesses. With a boom- ing voice and a storyteller's charisma, he recounted his ordeal in detail in a wide- reaching interview with The Associated Press in 2010, tearing up on several occasions. His two sisters were mur- dered at the camp and he described his own survival as "sheer chance." Along with the lesser known Belzec and Sobi- bor camps, Treblinka was designed with the sole in- tention of exterminating Jews, as opposed to oth- ers that had at least a fa- cade of being prison or la- bor camps. Treblinka's vic- tims were transported there in cattle cars and gassed to death almost immediately upon arrival. Only a select few — mostly young, strong men like Willenberg, who was 20 at the time — were assigned to maintenance work in- stead.
