Boris Nikolaevich Polevoy (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Полевой; March 17 [4], 1908 – July 12, 1981) was a notable Russian writer. July 12 is the 193rd day (194th in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 172 days remaining. ... 1981 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Polevoy described how Auschwitz inmates were exterminated, not in gas chambers, but on an electric conveyor belt that electrocuted hundreds of them simultaneously, then dropped their bodies into a flaming blast furnace.
Polevoy also described zinc-covered benches fitted with straps for restraining inmates, on which inmates were beaten to death with truncheons manufactured by the Krupp factory in Dresden.
Polevoy, the son of a physician, although of Jewish heritage, was born "beyond the pale" in Moscow in 1908.
BorisPolevoy attempted to steal parts of a car and was convicted of attempted first degree theft.
Polevoy contends the value of the property was less than $1,500 because Hammer's value estimate erroneously included the cost of installing a bumper and CD player.
Polevoy also challenges the State's value evidence on the ground that the value estimate assumed the bumper and CD player were missing.
