'Totally gripping'-- Simon Sebag Montefiore Would you sacrifice
yourself to save thousands of others? This is the unsung story of
one of the greatest heroes of the Second World War. In the Summer
of 1940, after the Nazi occupation of Poland, an underground
operative called Witold Pilecki accepted a mission to uncover the
fate of thousands of people being interned at a new concentration
camp on the border of the Reich. His mission was to report on Nazi
crimes and raise a secret army to stage an uprising. The name of
the detention centre -- Auschwitz. It was only after arriving at
the camp that he started to discover the Nazi's terrifying plans.
Over the next two and half years, Witold forged an underground army
that smuggled evidence of Nazi atrocities out of Auschwitz. His
reports from the camp were to shape the Allies response to the
Holocaust - yet his story was all but forgotten for decades. This
is the first major account to draw on unpublished family papers,
newly released archival documents and exclusive interviews with
surviving resistance fighters to show how he brought the fight to
the Nazis at the heart of their evil designs. The result is an
enthralling story of resistance and heroism against the most
horrific circumstances, and one man's attempt to change the course
of history.
