Secrets of the Dead: Escape from Auschwitz (2008)
This compelling documentary uncovers the amazing story of two young Slovak Jews, Rudolph Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, who managed to escape Auschwitz and wake up the world with their account of what went on in the death camps. Holocaust horrors are common knowledge today, but at the time, the atrocities committed by the Nazis behind the gates of concentration camps were among the most closely kept secrets of the Third Reich.

This was a PBS production..it was a bit short in my opinion but it was good.I had learned about these 2 men on another Auschwitz Documentary i watched and wanted to learn more about them.This was on television so that is probably why it was shorter it was from the series (secrets of the Dead on PBS).Excellent though watching these 2 men plan their escape and watching it reenacted while having first hand accounts.
