  1. 1. Escape From Sobibor

    A harrowing narrative that reconstructs the 1943 prisoner uprising at the Sobibor extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, following deportees who endured the camp's daily brutality, the clandestine planning by inmates, and the desperate, violent revolt in which prisoners killed guards and fled into the surrounding woods; drawing on survivor testimony, documents, and interviews, the account traces individual experiences before, during, and after the escape, explains how the camp functioned within the Final Solution, and follows the fates of those who reached freedom as well as the many who did not.
