Escape from Sobibor
During WWII, the death camp in Treblinka had an escape, causing the Commandant in a comparable camp at Sobibor to vow (actually sabotage ) that his camp would never feel the same thing. But those have been its captives, the Jewish laborers who had been spared by the ovens, also knew that they were on borrowed time and that their only hope was to flee... the only question was just how exactly to doit. On October 14, 1943, members of the underground resistance of the camp succeeded in killing eleven German officers and lots of guards. Roughly 300 escaped, although most were and killed. The escape forced the departure camp to close, planting a woods and dismantling it.
