The British will tell about the hero of Auschwitz
The English company House Productions will restore the good name of the Polish intelligence agent Witold Pilecki. A London studio has acquired the film rights to Jack Fairweather's novel The Volunteer.The book was published only a few months ago, but has already won one of the main British literary awards - the Costa Prize. The author has shed light on the tragic fate of one of Poland's greatest heroes. Piletsky made an enormous contribution to the struggle against Hitlerite Germany. In 1939, he created the Secret Polish Army partisan organization, and then voluntarily surrendered to the Germans to go to the Auschwitz death camp. Witold founded several resistance groups and passed on information about the camp staff to the Polish government. The spy fled in April 1943. He devised a plan to free the death factory, but the Polish authorities refused to save the prisoners. The report on Auschwitz was sent to the archives, where it lay until 2000.  After the end of the war, Witold was falsely accused of high treason. On May 25, 1948, he was executed by a shot in the back of the head in the courtyard of the Mokotow prison. The Polish government reconsidered the Pilecki case only in 1990. Source: Deadline The Topic of Article: The British will tell about the hero of Auschwitz. |
