Description

Auschwitz, 1942. A place of unimaginable suffering and brutality. For Arthur Dodd, a young British soldier, it was a fate worse than death. Captured by the German Army, Arthur was transported to Oswiecim, a name that would become synonymous with the darkest hours of human history. Forced to endure hard labour, starvation, and brutal treatment, Arthur's resolve was tested to the limit. Yet, he refused to give up. In a desperate bid to survive, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of Jewish prisoners, and aided a partisan group planning a mass break-out. This is a shocking true story that sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposing a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS and revealing the largely unknown story of the military POWs held there.
