ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Escape Artist” by Jonathan Freedland tells the harrowing true story of Rudolf Vrba, a Jewish man who escaped from Auschwitz during the Holocaust and risked his life to expose the atrocities taking place there. The book explores themes of survival, resistance, and the moral dilemmas faced by those trapped in the horrors of the Nazi regime. Through Vrba’s journey, Freedland examines human resilience, the challenges of bearing witness, and the devastating consequences of systemic inaction. It underscores the importance of memory and the responsibility to ensure that the truth about the Holocaust is never forgotten.
