Jules Schelvis: Inside the Gates , A report of two years in German extermination and concentration camps

Being a Jew, Jules Schelvis, born in Amsterdam in 1921, was captured and deported together with his wife Rachel and her family, via Westerbork to Sobibor. His skills as a printer allowed him to survive with eighteen other people from a total of 34.313 Jews who were deported to Sobibor.
In 1993 Jules Schelvis published his first scientific book - words used by Professor Louis de Jong - about Sobibor Extermination camp which has already reached a seventh edition. Schelvis has also adapted "Inside the Gates" as a play".
