In April 1942 two young Jewish men, Rudolf Vrba and Fred Wetzler, crawled under the wire of Auschwitz and escaped through the mountains of Slovakia. Drawing on interviews with Vrba’s two wives, Jonathan Freedland follows Vrba’s mission to warn the world about the Holocaust in a report that reached the desks of Roosevelt and Churchill, saving the lives of many thousands, and unravels his elusive post-war existence.
