Description
On 6 November 1942, an extraordinary mass escape took place from Auschwitz. Among those who survived was prisoner number 1418 Andrey Pogozhev.
The fact that Pogozhev not only endured the appalling conditions in the camp but also participated in one of the few successful escapes is remarkable. His gripping narrative of the escape and his subsequent journey as a fugitive to the east, through the Carpathian mountains into the Ukraine, is unforgettable reading.
