The Stunning and Emotional Autobiography of an Auschwitz Survivor
April 7, 1944 - This date marks the successful escape of two Slovak prisoners from one of the most heavily-guarded and notorious concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The escapees, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, fled over 100 miles to be the first to give the graphic and detailed descriptions of the atrocities of Auschwitz.
Originally published in the early 1960s, I Escaped from Auschwitz is the striking autobiography of none other than Rudolf Vrba himself. Vrba details his life leading up to, during, and after his escape from his 21-month internment in Auschwitz. Vrba and Wetzler manage to evade Nazi authorities looking for them and make contact with the Jewish council in Zilina, Slovakia, informing them about the truth of the "unknown destination" of Jewish deportees all across Europe. This first-hand report alerted Western authorities, such as Pope Pius XII, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, to the reality of Nazi annihilation camps - information that until then had only been recognized as nasty rumors.

I am moved and outraged! Heartbroken and exhilarated, shocked, appalled; extremely sad for humanity, for what was, and for what still is -in so many (other) ways and places every day.
Absolutely NO living being should ever be subjected to such cruelty!
Thank you for sharing your story -along with that of so many others-. May you be blessed. May the souls of those who didn’t make it, find peace and Light. May you wake up one day to find your heart filled with forgiveness. May humanity learn to accept and love each other, and live as One!
Let there be Peace
