The Escape Artist
The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World
Jonathan Freedland
Discover the gripping story of Rudolf Vrba, the first Jew to escape Auschwitz and share the death camp's horrors with the world. In part thrilling adventure, part exploration of the Holocaust's darkest secrets, author Jonathan Freedland uncovers the tale of a brilliant and courageous man who risked everything to save lives. Alongside fellow escapee Fred Wetzler, Vrba's journey was a fight for truth and justice, and their report helped spur Allied action. This book explores the life of a man whose legacy deserves to be as widely known as that of Anne Frank and Oskar Schindler.
