Show "The Auschwitz Volunteer: Captain Witold Pilecki" on Broadway in New York
August 30, 2018
THE AUSCHWITZ VOLUNTEER: CAPTAIN WITOLD PILECKI coming to Broadway!
One man volunteered for Auschwitz. This is his story.
In September 1940, Polish army office Witold Pilecki volunteered for a secret undercover mission at Auschwitz: to smuggle out intelligence to the Allies; and build a resistance organization among the prisoners.
Pilecki accomplished this impossible mission, barely surviving nearly three years of brutality, torture, starvation and disease before escaping.
His bravery has few rivals, and his story has been almost completely unknown—until now.
