It is amazing to think, but people really did manage to escape from Auschwitz concentration camp. Despite the 13ft electrified barbed wire fence, the thousands of SS guards, watchtowers, and dogs, hundreds of prisoners were successful.

In this short video, we will look at the structure of Auschwitz concentration camp and discuss some of the facts around the escape attampts. We will talk about the reports those who escaped wrote about the realities of the camp and the genocide that was taking place there, and some of the reasons why the allies failed to bomb the camp.

An interesting and harrowing story.
