Death Camp Treblinka: Survivor Stories
Death Camp Treblinka: Survivor Stories
An insight into how Samuel Willenberg and Kalman Taigman escaped from the concentration camp in Poland, where more than 800,000 Polish Jews died during the Nazi Holocaust. The two men were able to flee during a revolt in August 1943, before one of them sought vengeance in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising and the other appeared at the trial of Adolf Eichmann for war crimes in 1961. This film documents their stories, the fate of their families and offers fresh accounts of a forgotten death camp
Death Camp Treblinka: Survivor Stories airs on BBC Four at 10:00 PM, Monday 7 July. (Subtitles.)
