Meet Rudolph Vrba, the Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World

Once Rudolph Vrba became one of the handful of prisoners who escaped from the notorious concentration camp, he tried desperately to warn those on the outside.

@Lorry A correction here would be that there were at least 17 Jewish prisoners (not 5) who successfully escaped Auschwitz (more tried to escape, fate of many is unknown).

You can learn more about the escape of Vrba and Wetzler as well as other escapes from Auschwitz thanks to our online lesson: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/en_15_ucieczki/

@auschwitzmuseum Cheers! I will have a good look at that in a while. I don't think I remembered that anyone escaped.
