Description
Escape from Auschwitz, April 1944 On April 7, 1944, alarm sirens announce the escape of two Slovak prisoners from a heavily guarded camp in Nazi Germany. Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler managed to escape and covered a distance of 160 kilometers to provide the world with the first realistic and accurate description of what is happening in Auschwitz. Until then, only unconfirmed rumors circulated about the events in this concentration camp. Their report, first published in Switzerland and later in the Western press, unequivocally and openly revealed the reality of Nazi extermination camps to Pope Pius XII, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The book 'I Cannot Forgive' is a masterful depiction of the human characters behind the first report on the horrors of Auschwitz. Few can read about this gigantic and inhumane machinery of death built by the German Reich without feeling strong and deep emotions. Many will find in the book a remarkable, deeply personal story of heroism and determination, despite seemingly hopeless prospects.
