Krátky popis
'An immediate classic of Holocaust literature. Superbly researched
and written, it is both a gripping story and deeply moving, I
literally could not put it down' Antony Beevor 'Awe inspiring,
exciting and poignant, this is a thrilling read, a piece of
redemptive storytelling and a work of important Holocaust
historical research: Freedland has given Rudolf Vrba his rightful
place in history - and in the process written a book that I
couldn't put down' Simon Sebag Montefiore 'Immersive, shattering,
and, ultimately redemptive book . . . An epic of terror and
endurance . . . Written with Freedland's page-turning, gripping,
hard-edged immediacy, The Escape Artist is profound in thought,
boundless in humanity, an immediate modern classic' Simon Schama
Anne Frank. Primo Levi. Oskar Schindler. Rudolf Vrba. In April 1944
nineteen-year-old Rudolf Vrba and fellow inmate Fred Wetzler became
the first Jews ever to break out of Auschwitz. Under electrified
fences and past armed watchtowers, evading thousands of SS men and
slavering dogs, they trekked across marshlands, mountains and
rivers to freedom. Vrba's mission: to reveal to the world the truth
of the Holocaust. In the death factory of Auschwitz, Vrba had
become an eyewitness to almost every chilling stage of the Nazis'
process of industrialised murder. The more he saw, the more
determined he became to warn the Jews of Europe what fate awaited
them. A brilliant student of science and mathematics, he committed
each detail to memory, risking everything to collect the first data
of the Final Solution. After his escape, that information would
form a priceless thirty-two-page report that would reach Roosevelt,
Churchill and the pope and eventually save over 200,000 lives. But
the escape from Auschwitz was not his last. After the war, he kept
running - from his past, from his home country, from his adopted
country, even from his own name. Few knew of the truly
extraordinary deed he had done. Now, at last, Rudolf Vrba's heroism
can be known - and he can take his place alongside those whose
stories define history's darkest chapter.
