Boris Taborinsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boris Taborinskij ( Russian Борис Табаринский ; * 1917 in Minsk ; † after 1984) was one of the 47 survivors known by name of the Sobibór extermination camp in what is now Poland , who carried out the Sobibór uprising on October 14, 1943 , "without it", so the Historian Jules Schelvis , “there were no survivors to testify to the mass murder”. Statements by Taborinsky show that it was part of everyday life in the Sobibór camp to be beaten and that prisoners, if they did not stand in a row during roll call, were whipped over the head with a whip.

Taborinsky belonged to the core group of Soviet prisoners of war led by Alexander Aronowitsch Pechjorski from the camp for Jewish prisoners of war on Minsk Schirokaya Street, who had already worked there together on escape plans, organized weapons and maintained contact with the underground committee of the Minsk ghetto and partisans. Together with Schlomo Lajtman he was on the first transport of Soviet prisoners of war - two thousand Jews followed on September 18 in a second transport - from the Soviet Union, which left Minsk on September 15, 1943 and reached the Sobibor extermination camp on September 22, 1943 . Taborinsky had worked as a locksmith after going to school. But since carpenters and tailors were wanted, he pretended to be a carpenter by trade . That is why he was not killed, but used to cover the roofs in camp 4.

He was a member of the resistance group that carried out the Sobibór uprising on October 14, 1943 . Together with Yefim Litvinov , he was assigned to a detachment to cut a hole in the barbed wire fence near the camp commandant's house. This was intended to open up an alternative escape route in the event that the escape through the camp gate should fail. After his escape from the camp, Taborinsky joined partisans .

In connection with one of the Sobibor trials , which took place in Hagen from 1982 to 1985, Taborinsky was interviewed on March 14, 1984 in Donetsk .
