El Maestro de la Fuga: El Hombre Que Escapo de Auschwitz Para Alertar Al Mundo / The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World
Jonathan Freedland
La verdadera historia de Rudi Vrba, el primer judio que escapo de Auschwitz y trato de advertir al mundo de las atrocidades nazis.
En abril de 1944, Rudolf Vrba se convirtio en el primer judio en escapar de Auschwitz. Contra todo pronostico, tras esquivar por poco las balas alemanas, el y su companero de fuga escalaron montanas y cruzaron rios para alcanzar la libertad. Vrba queria advertir a los ultimos judios de Europa del destino que les esperaba al final de la via ferrea. Brillante estudiante de ciencias y matematicas, memorizo cada uno de los detalles de la maquinaria nazi y lo arriesgo todo para recopilar los primeros datos de la Solucion Final. Tras su huida, saco de contrabando el primer relato completo de cuanto acontecia en los campos de exterminio, un informe detallado que finalmente llegaria a manos de Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill y el papa, y que acabaria salvando miles de vidas judias. El maestro de la fuga es la historia de un hombre que merece ocupar su lugar en la historia junto a Ana Frank, Oskar Schindler y Primo Levi, protagonistas todos ellos del capitulo mas oscuro de nuestro pasado reciente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became one of the very first Jews to escape from Auschwitz and make his way to freedom--among only a tiny handful who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world--and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. Against all odds, Vrba and his fellow escapee, Fred Wetzler, climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen. This is the story of a complex hero, one of the first witnesses to reveal the truth of the Holocaust.
