About this listen
On October 14, 1943, 600 Jews imprisoned in Sobibor, a secret Nazi death camp in eastern Poland, revolted. They killed a dozen SS officers and guards, trampled the barbed wire fences, and raced across an open field filled with anti-tank mines. Against all odds, more than three hundred made it safely into the woods. Fifty of those men and women managed to survive the rest of the war.
In this edition of Escape from Sobibor, fully updated in 2012, Richard Rashke tells their stories, based on his interviews with 18 of the survivors. It vividly describes the biggest prisoner escape of World War II. A story of unimaginable cruelty. A story of courage and a fierce desire to live and to tell the world what truly went on behind those barbed wire fences.

A superb and very moving account.
Excellent in every way. It combines horror with hope, dignity, determination and survival. This book has also stood the test of time. Highly recommended.

A story of hope against evil
This is a story of horror, not some movie villain style horror, this one is real.
It’s hard for most of us to possibly have any real ideal of suffering, living day to day with our smartphones, food generally easy to get.
Yet the monsters that looked like and were neighbours in past times turned on these people, there crime was being Jewish.
This is the tail of the biggest escape from a death camp in the whole of the Second World War.

Harrowing But Gripping
I have seen many TV programmes and films and read a few books that feature The Holocaust but this audiobook was one of the best I have listened to in terms of bringing the horrors of this period of history to life. Despite the brutality and cruelty of the subject matter, this book has a very real story to tell and one of the unquestionable bravery and heroism of the very few who survived and were able to tell their story. Very well read and a gripping storyline.

Escape From Sobibor
Excellent book. Not just about the escape, also some other important, relevant stories .
Any book covering the Holocaust is going to leave a bad taste in the readers mouth, quite rightly so.
I've read a few books on this subject matter and each time, I come away with more questions than answers? Not because the researchers have done a poor job, but because they open my eyes to the bigger picture, which is just as disturbing. Each book leaves me feeling, that lessons have not been learnt from this tragic and disgraceful event?
It is an absorbing read and one I had to follow to its conclusion.
The narrator does a good job on the whole.
I came to this book on the strength of the film, also of the same title.

Let down by the narration.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
This was really let down by the narration. There seemed to be no change in the rhythm, intonation, pacing, or style. It was as thought the narrator was detached from the story and just reading it as fast as he could so that he could pick up his paycheck. It really made me switch off from the book.
