Overview

La increíble historia real de Witold Pilecki, el único hombre que entró en Auschwitz por decisión propia para sabotear el campo desde dentro y conseguir información.

Esta es la increíble historia real de la infiltración de un héroe de la resistencia polaca que entró en Auschwitz voluntariamente para sabotear el campo desde dentro, y su intento de desafiar a la muerte para advertir a los aliados sobre los planes de los nazis de llevar a cabo la Solución final antes de que fuera demasiado tarde.

Para descubrir el destino de los miles de enterrados en un misterioso campamento nazi en la frontera del Reich, un luchador de la resistencia polaco de treinta y nueve años llamado Witold Pilecki se ofreció como voluntario para una misión audaz: asumir una identidad falsa, ser capturado intencionalmente y enviado al nuevo campamento, y luego informar secretamente sobre lo que le había sucedido a sus compatriotas allí. Pero recopilar información no era su única tarea: debía ejecutar un ataque desde adentro, allí donde los alemanes menos lo esperarían.

El nombre del campo era Auschwitz.

Durante los siguientes dos años y medio, Pilecki forjó un ejército clandestino dentro de Auschwitz que saboteó instalaciones, asesinó a informantes y oficiales nazis, y reunió pruebas de abusos terroríficos y asesinatos en masa. Pero mientras reconstruía la horrible verdad de que el campamento se convertiría en el epicentro de los planes nazis para exterminar a los judíos de Europa, Pilecki se dio cuenta de que tendría que poner en riesgo a sus hombres, su vida y su familia para advertir a Occidente antes de que todo se perdiera. Hacerlo significaba intentar lo imposible: escapar de Auschwitz.

Completamente eliminado de cualquier registro histórico por parte del gobierno comunista de posguerra de Polonia, Pilecki sigue siendo casi desconocido para el mundo. Ahora, con acceso exclusivo a diarios previamente ocultos, cuentas de familiares y sobrevivientes de campamentos, y archivos recientemente desclasificados, Jack Fairweather ofrece un documento inquebrantable de supervivencia, venganza y traición en la hora más oscura de la humanidad. Y al descubrir el trágico resultado de la misión de Pilecki, revela, asimismo, que su derrota final no se originó en Auschwitz o Berlín, sino en Londres y Washington.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The story of Witold Pilecki, a Polish man’s efforts to destroy the Nazi camp from within and escape to warn the Allies of the Final Solution before it was too late.

The incredible true story of a Polish resistance fighter’s infiltration of Auschwitz to sabotage the camp from within, and his death-defying attempt to warn the Allies about the Nazis’ plans for a “Final Solution” before it was too late.

To uncover the fate of the thousands being interred at a mysterious Nazi camp on the border of the Reich, a thirty-nine-year-old Polish resistance fighter named Witold Pilecki volunteered for an audacious mission: assume a fake identity, intentionally get captured and sent to the new camp, and then report back to the underground on what had happened to his compatriots there. But gathering information was not his only task: he was to execute an attack from inside—where the Germans would least expect it.

The name of the camp was Auschwitz.

Over the next two and half years, Pilecki forged an underground army within Auschwitz that sabotaged facilities, assassinated Nazi informants and officers, and gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced together the horrifying truth that the camp was to become the epicenter of Nazi plans to exterminate Europe’s Jews, Pilecki realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to warn the West before all was lost. To do so, meant attempting the impossible—an escape from Auschwitz itself.

Completely erased from the historical record by Poland’s post-war Communist government, Pilecki remains almost unknown to the world. Now, with exclusive access to previously hidden diaries, family and camp survivor accounts, and recently declassified files, Jack Fairweather offers an unflinching portrayal of survival, revenge and betrayal in mankind’s darkest hour. And in uncovering the tragic outcome of Pilecki’s mission, he reveals that its ultimate defeat originated not in Auschwitz or Berlin, but in London and Washington.
