Get the Summary of Jonathan Freedland's The Escape Artist in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became one of the very first Jews to escape from Auschwitz and make his way to freedom-among only a tiny handful who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world-and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. Against all odds, Vrba and his fellow escapee, Fred Wetzler, climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen-a forensically detailed report that eventually reached Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the Pope.
And yet too few heeded the warning that Vrba had risked everything to deliver. Though Vrba helped save two hundred thousand Jewish lives, he never stopped believing it could have been so many more.
