Escape from Sobibor
Throughout WWII, the death camp at Treblinka had a getaway, inducing the Commandant at a comparable camp in Sobibor to vow (actually threaten) his camp could never feel the same task. But those who were its captives, the Jewish laborers who had been spared out of the ovens, knew they were on borrowed time and their only hope was to escape... the only real question was just how to do it. On October 14, 1943, members of the underground resistance of this camp succeeded in covertly killing eleven officers and lots of Ukrainian guards. Of those 600 inmates in the camp, roughly 300 escaped, although most were later re-captured and killed. The escape forced the death camp to close, planting a forest and dismantling it.
