Plot

In 1942, Rudolph Vrba is deported to Auschwitz at the age of 18 from his hometown in Slovakia. He becomes connected to the underground resistance within the camp where he and his friend Fred Wetzler devise an ingenious escape plan. In the Spring of 1944, they break out of the prison, just as the Nazi's Final Solution is heading into its deadliest months. Once free, Vrba and Wetzler set off through nearly 100 miles of treacherous Nazi territory and are tracked by SS search parties desperate to hunt them down. After multiple close calls, they make it back home to Slovakia where they write the first eyewitness accounts of the death camps. The Vrba-Wetzler Report finds its way to FDR, Churchill, the Pope, and finally, to the front page of the New York Times, where it exposes the truth of the Final Solution to the world. In the end, Rudi's escape and thorough account of the horrors of Auschwitz helps to save hundreds of thousands of lives.
