About This Item

London, United Kingdom: Atlantic Books, 2003. New book, 308 pages. On 19 April 1943, three young men stopped a train. The train was transporting 1,631 Jews from the Belgian town of Mechelan to Auschwitz. Equipped only with four pairs of pliers, a hurrican lamp covered in red paper and a single pistol, Youra Livchitz, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau carried out a plan that had been hatched by Jewish members of the resistance but rejected as too dangerous by the armed partisans. The three friends managed to free seventeen men and women before the German guards opened fire. By the time the convoy had reached the German border, another 214 prisoners had escaped. This book draws on private documents, archive material and police reports, as well as original research, and interviews with escapees, to create a vivid and often moving portrait of this unique event.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
