Description

Escaping Hell is the compelling and true story of a heroic young Polish officer who survived the fear of 5 years Within the prisons of Auschwitz and Buchenwald – where violence used to be meaningless because human life had lost all value.

All the way through World War II, Kon Piekarski used to be a member of the Polish Underground Army, a clandestine resistance movement which operated even inside Auschwitz – organizing spectacular escapes, operating a secret radio network and matching wits with the Gestapo.

After Auschwitz, Piekarski was a prisoner of war at Buchenwald and spent time working in a factory where Russian prisoners of war were used for labour. Within the face of constant danger, he and his comrades took each imaginable opportunity to sabotage the German war industry. He used to be after all transferred to a small camp near the French border, and escaped three months before the top of the war.
