The Man Who Volunteered for Auschwitz and Why the World Ignored Him

Fall asleep to this story of courage and hope. Witold Pilecki deliberately got himself arrested and sent to Auschwitz in 1940 to organize resistance from inside. For 2.5 years, he smuggled out detailed reports documenting the Holocaust, but the Allies ignored his warnings. After escaping and fighting in the Warsaw Uprising, he was executed by the communist government he helped liberate. This is the story of history's most extraordinary spy mission and the betrayal that followed.
