Samuel Rajzman

Samuel Rajzman (born Szmul Rajzman; 1902–1979) was a Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor. He was a key organizer and participant in the August 1943 prisoner uprising at the Treblinka extermination camp, and one of the few surviving camp escapees. After the war, he emigrated to France and then to Canada. He was the only Treblinka survivor to testify at the Nuremberg Trials, and later provided critical testimony at the Treblinka trials (1964–1970) and during the deportation hearings of Feodor Fedorenko. After the German invasion of Poland, together with his family he was resettled and imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto.

In September 1942 he was transferred to the Treblinka extermination camp.

After the war (which his family did not survive) he moved to France, and later to Canada, where he remarried. He was also a witness in both of the Treblinka trials (the first was the 1964–1965 trial of members of the German crew of Treblinka, and at second one, in 1969–1970, the trial of the commandant, Franz Stangl).

Rajzman died in Montreal in 1979.
