The escape artist : the man who broke out of Auschwitz to warn the world / Jonathan Freedland. by Freedland, Jonathan, 1967- author. New York, NY : Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2022] Subjects Vrba, Rudolf.   Auschwitz (Concentration camp)   Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)   World War, 1939-1945 -- Jews.   Nazi concentration camp escapes. ISBN:  9780063112339 (hardcover) : 0063112337 (hardcover) : Description:  x, 376 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm Edition:  First U.S. edition. Requests:  7 Summary:  "In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became the first Jew to break out of Auschwitz--one of only four 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 at the end of the railway line. Against all odds, he 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 would eventually reach Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and the Pope. And yet too few heeded the warning that Vrba--then just nineteen years old--had risked everything to deliver. Some could not believe it. Others thought it easier to keep quiet. Vrba helped save 200,000 Jewish lives--but he never stopped believing it could have been so many more. This is the story of a brilliant yet troubled man--a gifted "escape artist" who even as a teenager understand that the difference between truth and lies can be the difference between life and death, a man who deserves to take his place alongside Anne Frank, Oskar Schindler and Primo Levi as one of the handful of individuals whose stories define our understanding of the Holocaust"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   item being mended   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr Katz Transit   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Vrba Fr   Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Transit   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Checked out 07/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53185 Vrba Fr   Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
