Escape From Sobibor

In 1942, SS-chief Heinrich Himmler

initiated "Operation Reinhardt".

Nazi-Germany's final solution

to the "Jewish question".

3 death-camps were built and staffed

under top secret orders.

These camps, all in

eastern Poland, were Belzec,

Treblinka and the most secret Sobibor.

Sobibor. It was here on October 14th

prisoner revolt in World War 2

took place.

This is that story.

- Did you speak to them?

- Yes, Leon.

But they're still going to do it.

- Leon, Leon...

- What's going on?

We're assigned to the

vegetable lot today.

While you're at the

station, we are going to go.

- We've been working on

that fence, it's our chance.

- In broad daylight through the minefield?

It's crazy, you'll never make it.

We have the courage now.

Who knows if we do tomorrow.

We're going to do it,

nobody can stop us.

Good luck.

Quick! Run!

It's nothing but a little

target practice.

I want no problems here today.

Is that clear?

Take your positions. Dismissed.

Attention, railroad brigade Jews.

As always, I expect you to be

smiling, when the train arrives.

Remember, we are welcoming these people.

This will run smoothly.

If there's a problem like yesterday's,

if people panic or try to run

I don't have to remind you,

you will be killed.

Water!

Give me water!

Remember, we've got to stay together.

Get moving!

You! You, get back!

Get back, I say!

- You must leave your bag.

- No!

Stay right next to me.

If you want to stay together,

volunteer.

When they ask you,

tell them you have a trade.

Quiet!

Quiet!

Stand where you are and be quiet.

You will be separated into

two groups, just temporarily.

Women and children on this side,

men and boys, 14 years of

age or older, on the other.

Those who are ill or too

weak to walk will be assisted.

Leave your luggage, it will

be brought to you later.

Now, move as quickly as possible.

Move!

- Shlomo, Moses...!

- Mama, he said we'd be

together in a little while.

- Yes, a little while. Kiss your sister.

- Mama, which side to go?

Don't start anything.

Move! Back!

All the sick on the top.

On the wagon, over here!

Observe...

Do you see? How I'm scattering this?

Grain by grain.

That is what will happen

with your filthy Reich.

It will vanish like flying dust

and passing smoke.

No.

You stand right here

and don't move until I tell you

Silence!

I want everyone to listen to me carefully.

You have arrived at Sobibor.

You are in eastern Poland.

This is a labour camp.

We have brought you here to work.

You will work hard, but hard

work is good for the soul.

So in reality, we are your benefactors.

You will be housed, you will be

fed. All we ask is your cooperation.

If you do your jobs, you

will have nothing to fear.

You will be given postcards.

Write to your relatives and friends to

tell them you have arrived here safely.

We will mail them for you.

Unfortunately, there

have been reports that

typhus have broken out

at several labour camps.

We do not want typhus at Sobibor.

Therefore, first you will be

taken to the shower facility

where you will each have a hot shower.

Naturally, men and women

will shower separately.

Women will have their hair

cut short before they shower

While you are showering, your clothing

will be disinfected.

Remember, the better your behaviour,

the easier your stay will be.
