Featured review
Interesting movie about the known breakout from horrible concentration camp .This notable movie deals with extermination center Sobibór and the subsequent getaway. As Soviet officer Alexander Pechersky leads and organizes a revolt and mass escape of prisoners from Sobibór extermination camp in October 1943 . We see horrors , murders and slaughters against the disgraced prisoners who live with the spectre of a violent and sudden death . Thus , when the incoming transports , mostly Jews , SS soldiers made instant decisions , those who were fit to labors were sent into the camp , others including the children , were dispatched immediately to the gas chambers where approximately one-quarter million Jews were executed . Every day the prisoners have to endure untold cruelty at the hands of the guards and . The flick is nicely starred by Konstantin Khabenskiy as prisoner Alexander Pechersky and Christopher Lambert as ruthless commandant Karl Frenzel . Remaining support cast , though unknown provide fine interpretations. The movie contains an engaging storyline based on the book by Ilya Vasiliev: "Alexander Pechersky: Breakthrough to Immortality" , getting a breathtaking and exciting getaway with a sensitive musical score . The film was well realized , developing compellingly the historical recreation of the tortures , distresses , penury , mistreats and massacres of the unfortunate prisoners and eventually the famous escape from the Nazi Death Camp Sobibor . The motion picture was professionally directed by Konstantin Khabenskiy who also stars an essential role giving nice acting . There's another version about this events ¨Escape from Sobibor¨ (1987) by Jack Gold with great actors as Alan Arkin , Joanna Pacula and Rutger Hauer .

Sobibór was an extermination camp of killing center of Jews , part of their Final Solution , including children and located near the Bug River on the border of the German occupied eastern territories . Some 35.000 Dutch Jews , originally assigned to Auschwitz were sent to Sobibór . All four camps were under the command of SS Odilo Globocnick . There was some minor industrial activity linked to the war effort but the main work was the execution of inmates . Victims were brought to the camp in unventilated transports , and all but a handful were gassed after arrival , the gas chambers could accommodate hundred prisoners at one time , most of their corpses were burned in open pits . On October 14, 1943 about 150 inmates broke out in a desperate riot . Of approximately 600 prisoners who attempted escaped in October 1943 , around 300 succeeded . However, nearly all were ultimately recaptured ; only about 60 people survived . Sobibor along with Treblinka and Belzec , was evacuated in the fall of 1943.
