German death camp in Sobibor, Poland, killed two hundred fifty thousand Jews. It had the most successful prisoner escape in World War II on October 14, 1943.
During World War II, the death camp at Treblinka had an escape, causing the Commandant at a similar camp in Sobibor to vow that his camp would never experience the same thing. But those who were its captives, the Jewish laborers who had been spared from the ovens, knew they were on borrowed time. That their only hope was to escape. The only question - how to do it. This movie is based on a factual account of what happened at Sobibor.—BOB STEBBINS <stebinsbob@aol.com>
The historical re-creation of the escape from the Nazi Death Camp Sobibor, where approximately two hundred fifty thousand Jews were executed. Of approximately six hundred prisoners who attempted escape on October 14, 1943, around three hundred succeeded. However, nearly all were ultimately recaptured, and only about sixty people survived Sobibor.—Anthony Hughes <husnock31@hotmail.com>
