Escape from Sobibor

Synopsis

In the depths of Nazi-occupied Poland, where nearly 250,000 Jews have perished in the Sobibor death camp, hope arrives in the form of two unlikely leaders: Leon Feldhendler, a Polish Jew who has witnessed unspeakable horrors, and Alexander Pechersky, a Soviet POW with military expertise. Together, they orchestrate the most audacious and successful prison break in Holocaust history. On October 14, 1943, these brave souls risk everything in a desperate bid for freedom, knowing that failure means certain death but success could expose the Nazi regime's darkest secrets. Based on true events, this is the story of ordinary people who chose to fight back against evil itself.
