History’s Greatest Escapes with Morgan Freeman returns for its second season, with Morgan Freeman guiding us through stories of human resilience and defiance in oppression. In this episode, “The Sobibor Revolt,” we examine the horrors of World War II and the Nazi Death Camps, focusing on Jewish prisoners at the Sobibor camp in Poland.
During World War II, the Nazi regime established camps dedicated to killing prisoners, mainly Jews. Sobibor, in Poland, was one such camp. Within this place of terror, a group of Jewish prisoners, forced to maintain killing operations, planned a daring escape. Their mass breakout saved lives and brought attention to the Holocaust’s atrocities.
