{"product_id":"escape-from-hell-6","title":"Escape from Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003eA shocking account of Nazi genocide and the inhuman \nconditions in Auschwitz, but equally shocking is the initial disbelief \nwith which the revelations were met. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Alfred Wetzler was\n a true hero. His escape from Auschwitz, and the report he helped \ncompile, telling for the first time the truth about the camp as a place \nof mass murder, led directly to saving the lives of 120,000 Jews…. No \nother single act in the Second World War saved so many Jews from the \nfate that Hitler and the SS had determined for them.”—Sir Martin Gilbert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether\n with another young Slovak Jew Rudolf Vrba, both deported in 1942, the \nauthor succeeded in escaping from the notorious death camp in the spring\n of 1944. There were some very few successful escapes from Auschwitz \nduring the war, but it was these two who smuggled out the damning \nevidence – a ground plan of the camp, constructional details of the gas \nchambers and crematoriums and, most convincingly, a label from a \ncanister of Cyclone gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is cast in the form of a novel \nto allow information not personally collected by the two fugitives but \nprovided for them by a handful of reliable friends, to be included. \nNothing, however, has been invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Introduction by Dr. Robert Rozett\u003cbr\u003e\n Wetzler is a master at evoking the universe of Auschwitz, and \nespecially, his and Vrba's harrowing flight to Slovakia. The day-by-day \naccount of the tremendous difficulties the pair faced after the Nazis \nhad called off their search of the camp and its surroundings is both \nriveting and heart wrenching. [...] Shining vibrantly through the pages \nof the memoir are the tenacity and valor of two young men, who sought to\n inform the world about the greatest outrage ever committed by humans \nagainst their fellow humans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262834659672,"sku":"9781789207927","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781789207927.jpg?v=1771055127","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/escape-from-hell-6","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
