Showcase Cinema, 1200 Quaker Lane, E. Greenwich, RI
ESCAPE FROM AUSCHWITZ
A PBS FILM
The truth about the Auschwitz death camp was one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Third Reich. Prisoners who tried to escape were killed in public as an example to other inmates, and very few ever made it out alive. ESCAPE FROM AUSCHWITZ tells the incredible story of two young Slovak Jews, Rudolph Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, who managed to escape by hiding in a woodpile for three days, then fleeing across enemy territory, determined to tell the world about the atrocities being committed by the Nazis at the camp. PBS, Executive Producer, Jared Lipworth will be present to speak to the audience and answer questions about this most important film.
This movie is free and open to the public.
