As Adolf Eichmann sent hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews to
Auschwitz gas chambers, the Jews of Budapest needed the eyewitness
testimony of Auschwitz escapees Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosinto
save them. The clock was ticking on the Nazi plan to annihilate the
last group of the Hungarian Jewry. But after nearly suffocating in
an underground bunker, Auschwitz prisoners Ceslav Mordowicz and
Arnost Rosin escaped and told Jewish leaders what they had seen.
Their testimony in early June, 1944, corroborated earlier
hard-to-believe reports of mass killing in Auschwitz by lethal gas
and provided eyewitness accounts of record daily arrivals of
Hungarian Jews meeting the same fate. It was the spark needed to
stir a call for action to pressure Hungary's premier to defy
Hitler-just hours before more than 200,000 Budapest Jews were to be
deported.
