  • Amidst the horrors of Auschwitz, Walter Rosenberg, a young Jewish prisoner, accomplished the unthinkable. Escaping the Nazis’ most notorious death camp with vital evidence in hand, Rosenberg revealed the atrocities of the camp to the world. From his harrowing journey of beatings and near-death experiences, to his meticulous documentation of Auschwitz, Walter’s story is one of unimaginable courage.
    Later known as Rudolf Vrba, his detailed report revealed the grim reality of the Holocaust, saving lives and aiding in the pursuit of justice against Nazi war criminals.

      ​@@epicphailure88 that's complete utter nonsense!!! when they did the first hostage deal they exchange 50 Palestinian criminals in jail for violent offenses for 1 Israeli hostage
      so clearly its Hamas who doesn't care about its own people, they aren't desperate at all.
      without a full invasion of gaza they would have asked for more than 500 Palestinian criminals in jail for just 1 hostage
      You are pushing islamic extremist propoganda - the numbers don't lie
      Israel is paying a HUGE price to get JUST one hostages back

      I read about this in a book I found in a used bookstore. It was a collection of survival stories and this was one of them. Another story that was in it was a guy that escaped from a Russian gulag in Siberia. As soon as I heard about him hiding in the woodpile I remembered reading his story. He had nerves of steel.

      @@UNPACKEDI have some other interesting videos for you to make all of which involve the Holocaust. What makes them interesting is that they are very remarkable stories of other Jewish people who fought against all odds to survive. In addition two of them involve Jewish revolts and escape attempts against the Nazis thus showing that even in those darkest times Jewish people found ways to fight back and escape. Yes I know You already made a video about Jewish resistance against the Nazis but people need to know that even in the concentration camps and killing centers Jewish people found ways to fight back and escape. Here are those video ideas.
      A video about Rudolph Reder who was one of the very few Jewish people who successfully escaped from the Belzec killing center.
      A video about the Sobibor revolt.
      A video about the Treblinka revolt.

But it still takes a lot of backbone, willpower and intelligence to leave that state as well and arrive to what most people do not wanna deal with, neither back then nor nowadays : Reality !😣
