Uppror i Sobibor

Ett av de större upproren på tyska koncentrationsläger skedde i Sobibor. Saxat från engelska wikipedia: "On 14 October 1943, under the cover of night, members of the Sobibór underground, led by Soviet-Jewish POW Alexander Pechersky from Minsk, covertly killed 11 German SS officers, overpowered the camp guards, and seized the armory. Although the plan was to kill all the SS and walk out of the main gate of the camp, the killings were discovered, and the inmates ran for their lives under fire. About 300 out of the 600 Sonderkommando prisoners in the camp escaped into the forests.[1] Most of them were recaptured by the search squads."

Efter upproret stängde tyskarna lägret.
