The award-winning journalist Jonathan Freedland reads from his powerful book about a heroic and courageous young Jewish man who escaped Auschwitz to reveal the truth about the Holocaust.

The chilling reality of Auschwitz and the Holocaust compelled Rudolf Vrba and his friend, Fred Wetzler, to make a daring escape from the heavily guarded concentration camp.

An eyewitness to many stages of the Final Solution, Vrba committed to memory details of the concentration camp's brutal and murderous regime. His testimony found its way into report that was disseminated to Churchill, Roosevelt and the Pope and ultimately saved the lives of 200,000 Hungarian Jews.

An omnibus of Richard Hamilton鈥檚 five-part abridgement.
