    "Sobibor" is based on the history of the Sobibór extermination camp uprising during WWII and Soviet officer Alexander Pechersky. When he was a POW in Sobibor, he managed to do the impossible - to organize a revolt and mass escape of the prisoners.

    A Great Story Of Perseverance and Grit!
    Riveting true story of the only successful revolt of a Nazi extermination camp. This film shows the pure evil of the Nazi's, the struggles of various prisoners to either find balance or reconcile their faith with what must be done for the survival of themselves or their loved ones. This stuff still happens today with different clowns in the role of evil idiot!
