The Auschwitz Escape

by Joel C. Rosenberg

Two men escaped Auschwitz in 1944 to warn the world. The world didn't listen.

As World War II rages and Hitler begins implementing his "final solution" to systematically and ruthlessly exterminate the Jewish people, Jacob Weisz must rely on his wits and a God he's not sure he believes in to somehow escape from Auschwitz and alert the world to the Nazi's atrocities before Fascism overtakes all of Europe.
