Discovery Channel Documentaries - War Stories: Escape from Auschwitz

Seizoen: 1999 - Aflevering: 15 / 317 - Eerst uitgezonden: Onbekend - Episode ID: 1287161

Taken prisoner during the African campaign, Arthur Dodd was one of the few prisoners of war to find himself dispatched to the hellish concentration camps of Auschwitz. A witness to the inhumane treatment of prisoners by the Nazis, he managed to take part in a prison escape and assisted Polish partisans in sabotaging the camp's generator. Recaptured and returned to the camp, Dodd would later be forced to participate in the 'death march' as the Nazis retreated from the advancing allies, attempting to destroy any evidence of their acts before leaving. The horrors witnessed and endured by Dodd were only magnified when he returned home to a disbelieving nation. Leon Greenman, a British Jew in Auschwitz at the same time as Dodd, offers his own powerful testimony of the time.
