✰《星期日泰晤士報》暢銷書
1944年4月,19歲的 Rudolf Vrba和獄友Fred Wetzler成為有史以來首次逃出奧斯威辛集中營的猶太人,在通電柵欄和武裝瞭望塔下,他們避開了成千上萬的黨衛軍士兵和軍犬,徒步穿越沼澤地、山脈和河流直到走向自由,使命地向世界揭示大屠殺的真相。
奧斯威辛集中營如同死亡工廠,Vrba幾乎見證了納粹系統化謀殺過程中每一個令人毛骨悚然的階段,他看到的越多,就越堅定地警告歐洲的猶太人等待他們的命運是什麼,身為一名出色的科學和數學學生,他將每一個細節都牢記在心,不惜一切代價收集最終解決方案的第一批資料,在他逃跑後,這些信息成為長達32頁的無價報告,該報告送達羅斯福、邱吉爾和教皇,最終挽救超過200,000人的生命。
但逃離奧斯維辛並不是他的最後一次逃亡,戰後他一直在逃跑——從他的過去、他的祖國、他的收養國,甚至是自己的名字,很少有人知道他所做的非凡事蹟。
現在,終於可以宣揚魯道夫‧弗爾巴的偉大故事——他以英雄之姿在歷史黑暗篇章上佔有一席之地。

In April 1944 nineteen-year-old Rudolf Vrba and fellow inmate Fred Wetzler became the first Jews ever to break out of Auschwitz. Under electrified fences and past armed watchtowers, evading thousands of SS men and slavering dogs, they trekked across marshlands, mountains and rivers to freedom. Vrba's mission: to reveal to the world the truth of the Holocaust.
In the death factory of Auschwitz, Vrba had become an eyewitness to almost every chilling stage of the Nazis' process of industrialised murder. The more he saw, the more determined he became to warn the Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. A brilliant student of science and mathematics, he committed each detail to memory, risking everything to collect the first data of the Final Solution. After his escape, that information would form a priceless thirty-two-page report that would reach Roosevelt, Churchill and the pope and eventually save over 200,000 lives.
But the escape from Auschwitz was not his last. After the war, he kept running - from his past, from his home country, from his adopted country, even from his own name. Few knew of the truly extraordinary deed he had done.
Now, at last, Rudolf Vrba's heroism can be known - and he can take his place alongside those whose stories define history's darkest chapter.
