“... Sometimes it seems that nothing new can be discovered about the Holocaust, but Jack Faerooder’s book proves the opposite” - from the review of The Spectator magazine.
In the summer of 1940, after the Nazis occupied Poland, a participant in the underground Vitold Piletsky accepted the task of finding out about the fate of thousands of people in the new concentration camp on the border of the Reich. His mission was to collect and transfer data to the will and organize an army for an uprising. The camp was called Aushwitz. Now it seems unthinkable that until 1943 almost no one knew that it was really for a place. Only having become a voluntary prisoner, Vitold understood his present purpose. For two and a half years, Piletsky created an underground network, which secretly transmitted from the camp a certificate of Nazi atrocities. In his reports, he urged the allies to quit their strength to liberate the camp, but in the wild he was not fully understood: it was difficult to believe in this. Then, by some miracle, Vitold gathered a radio transmitter and began to duplicate messages in his voice. Piletsky later organized an escape. Already personally, he presented the so -called ? Piletsky report to the military.
This is the first full book about this amazing story. It is based on declassified data not previously published by family sources and exclusive interviews. As a result, I got an exciting story about heroism, resistance to the most terrifying circumstances and an attempt by one person to change the course of history.
Would you sacrifice yourself to save thousands of other people? - This is the question that the book of the year of the year of the prestigious literary prize of the UK Costa Book Awards (2019), bestseller No. 1 The Sunday Times.
From the author
Vitold Piletsky became a prisoner of Aushwitz voluntarily. The story of this person, which has been appropriate for such a short phrase, moved me to go to a quest of five years long. I traced his path from the farmer to the participant in the underground in the occupied Warsaw and the intelligence officer who got into the livestock truck in the epicenter of the greatest of the evils created by the Nazis. Vitold became almost my native.
For the first time, my friend, Matt Macalliste, told me about Vitold, in the fall of 2011. Matt and I wrote together reports about wars in the Middle East and tried to comprehend the events whose witnesses we became. Matt with his characteristic bravadus went to Aushwitz to face the greatest evil in the history of mankind. There he learned about the underground detachment of Vitold. I was struck by how little now I know about the task of Vitold - to warn the West about the crimes of the Nazis and organize an underground detachment in order to destroy a concentration camp.
Vitold reminds us: let this topic be emotionally difficult, let us be in difficult life circumstances, but we should always try to understand the misfortune of our neighbor. I hope this book will help us hear it.
