Poignant in its honesty and grim in its details, Escape from
Sobibor offers stunning proof of resistance--in this case
successful--by victims of the Holocaust. The smallest of the
extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany during World War II,
Sobibor was where now-retired auto worker John Demjanjuk has been
accused of working as a prison guard. Sobibor also was the scene of
the war's biggest prisoner escape. Richard Rashke's interviews with
eighteen of those who survived provide the foundation for this
volume. He also draws on books, articles, and diaries to make vivid
the camp, the uprising, and the escape. In the afterword, Rashke
relates how the Polish government in October 1993, observed the
fiftieth anniversary of the escape and how it has beautified the
site since a film based on his book appeared on Polish television.
