His escape from Auschwitz, and the report he helped  compile, telling for the first time the truth about the camp as a place  of mass murder, led directly to saving the lives of 120,000 Jews…. No  other single act in the Second World War saved so many Jews from the  fate that Hitler and the SS had determined for them.”—Sir Martin Gilbert  Together  with another young Slovak Jew Rudolf Vrba, both deported in 1942, the  author succeeded in escaping from the notorious death camp in the spring  of 1944. There were some very few successful escapes from Auschwitz  during the war, but it was these two who smuggled out the damning  evidence – a ground plan of the camp, constructional details of the gas  chambers and crematoriums and, most convincingly, a label from a  canister of Cyclone gas.  The book is cast in the form of a novel  to allow information not personally collected by the two fugitives but  provided for them by a handful of reliable friends, to be included.  Nothing, however, has been invented.  From the Introduction by Dr. Robert Rozett   Wetzler is a master at evoking the universe of Auschwitz, and  especially, his and Vrba's harrowing flight to Slovakia. The day-by-day  account of the tremendous difficulties the pair faced after the Nazis  had called off their search of the camp and its surroundings is both  riveting and heart wrenching. [...] Shining vibrantly through the pages  of the memoir are the tenacity and valor of two young men, who sought to  inform the world about the greatest outrage ever committed by humans  against their fellow humans.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052250104081,"sku":"NIN9781789207927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789207924.jpg?v=1766658898"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-alfrd-wetzler.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
