This is the story of the inmate revolt at Sobibor during World War II. This happened in October 1943. Six hundred inmates turned against their SS guards, ultimately killing a dozen. Three hundred of those managed to make it out of the camp, and around fifty lived through to the end of the war. The conditions and treatment of these people in these camps was absolutely disgusting, and I am glad that they revolted. I wish more of them would have made it out. This was a good book, and I would recommend it.
