Summaries

14 October 1943: Jewish prisoners and Russian P.O.W. killed some Nazi guards in the infamous KZ Sobibór and organized a mass escape through the electrified barbed wire fence and minefields around the camp. Few of the escapees survived the war. One of them was the Dutch Jew Jules Schelvis (1921-2016). This documentary is based on the 18 hours of interview with 12 survivors which Schelvis recorded in the 80's with his little camera.—fa404748 (Ghent, Belgium)
