An Auschwitz escape thriller following the life mission of one man - whose survival will have implications for hundreds of thousands of lives. In April 1944 a teenager named Rudolf Vrba was planning a daring and unprecedented escape from Auschwitz. After hiding in a pile of timber planks for three days while 3 000 SS men and their bloodhounds searched for him Vrba and his fellow escapee Fred Wetzler would eventually cross Nazi-occupied Poland on foot as penniless fugitives. Their mission: to tell the world the truth of the Final Solution. Vrba would produce from memory a breathtaking report of more than thirty pages revealing the true nature and scale of Auschwitz - a report that would find its way to Roosevelt Churchill and the Pope eventually saving over 200 000 Jewish lives. A thrilling history with enormous historical implications THE ESCAPE ARTIST is the extraordinary story of a complex man who would seek escape again and again: first from Auschwitz then from his past even from his own name. In telling his story Jonathan Freedland - the journalist broadcaster and acclaimed multi-million copy selling author of the Sam Bourne novels - ensures that Rudolf Vrba's heroic mission will also escape oblivion.
