THE STUNNING AND EMOTIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR Originally published in the early 1960s, 'I ESCAPED FROM AUSCHWITZ' is the first hand account of Rudolf's Vrba's experience as a registrar in the prison camp, the story of his daring escape, and with great determination went on to 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.
