Escape from Sobibor
Throughout WWII, the death camp in Treblinka had a getaway, causing the Commandant in a comparable camp at Sobibor to vow (actually threaten) his camp will never go through the exact identical task. However, people who were captives, the Jewish laborers who had been spared from the ovens, also knew they were on borrowed time and their only hope was to escape... the sole question was just how exactly to do it. On October 14, 1943, members of the underground resistance of this camp succeeded in covertly killing many of guards and eleven officers. Of those 600 inmates at the camp, roughly 300 escaped, although most were later re-captured and killed. The escape forced the passing camp to close , dismantling it and planting a forest.
