Summary
This video permits the ashes of Auschwitz to bear eloquent testimony. The focus of this documentary is a heretofore little-known story of resistance. Accomplished through the smuggling of gun powder from a nearby munitions factory, the inmates succeeded in the destruction of Cermatorium #4. The film features thirteen survivors, each of whom contributes to the piecing together of this incredible story of heroism.
