With exclusive access to previously hidden diaries, family and camp
survivor accounts, and recently declassified files, critically

interned at a new concentration camp, report on Nazi crimes, raise
a secret army, and stage an uprising. The name of the camp --

cruellest of conditions, Pilecki's underground sabotaged
facilities, assassinated Nazi officers, and gathered evidence of
terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced together the

realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to
warn the West before all was lost. To do so meant attempting the
impossible -- but first he would have to escape from Auschwitz
