They fought back! Account of the Ecape From Sobibor: the books, films and research into Every Name Counts!

Sobibor, mother and child statue.

 I bought a book on the escape from Sobibor. I saw the film. (Americans say movie.) Now I find that Wikipedia has a completely detailed account of the organization of the escape and chief people concerned.

I then discovered a Facebook page. Finally, I found Every Name Counts, a project inviting students and adults to help recording victims' names from documents in archives.
